A 20kW zero-emission electric motor is not the only reason why the Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid is the quietest vehicle in its class that the manufacturer has ever produced.

Various automotive insulations – including an acoustic windscreen and thicker side windows at the front – help to cut out unwanted noise from the surroundings.

The electric drive obviously helps to reduce engine noise, but an exhaust system designed newly for the Jetta Hybrid further enhances this quieting effect.

Other than these measures, the manufacturer says that “the interior of the Hybrid is very much like that of any other Jetta”.

At Autins, we understand the importance of keeping things quiet during a long journey – and we can provide the automotive insulations required to shut unwanted sounds out of the interior cabin of a vehicle.

Our interior cabin acoustic and thermal insulations include solutions for door trims and instruments panels, along with transmission tunnels.

Parcel shelves and speaker housings can be insulated to prevent any rattling of components, cutting out annoying buzzing noises and vibrations.

Meanwhile, acoustic insulations for modern vehicles can also quieten down the operation of electric motors – typically those used in moving the seats and windows, rather than those used to power the car itself.
