siège produit en série


Explanation:
RECARO’s development of the production seat for the Focus RS is based on the Ford seats installed in the standard version of the car, but features characteristics that typify RECARO such as combining ergonomic design and maximum security with sporty looks and a superior seating experience. For even more sportiness, the car can be equipped with optionally available Recaro bucket seats, based on the RECARO Sportster CS.

Ford’s Aachen Research Centre was responsible for defining the functionality of the Multi-contour Seats and coordinating with the supplier Alfmeier Präzision AG. As part of a pilot study, Dr. Karl Siebertz from the vehicle interior technologies department worked with Jeroen Lem to develop the technical basis for the new seat using a standard production seat.

Le centre de recherche Ford d’Aix-la-Chapelle, de son côté, était chargé de définir les fonctions du siège multicontours et de la coordination avec le sous-traitants Alfmeier Präzision AG. Dans une étude préalable, l’ingénieur Karl Siebertz de « Vehicle Interior Technologies » et son collaborateur, Jeroen Lem, mirent au point le concept technique se basant sur l’étude technique d’un siège produit en série.

In order to complete the Ford-Visos reference I add the German source:

Funktionsfestlegung im Ford Forschungszentrum Aachen
Das Ford Forschungszentrum Aachen war für die Funktionsfestlegung der Multikontursitze und die Koordination des Zulieferers Alfmeier Präzision AG verantwortlich. Im Rahmen einer Vorstudie entwickelte Dr. Karl Siebertz, Vehicle Interior Technologies, mit Jeroen Lem die technische Basis auf Grundlage eines Seriensitzes. Er war einer der Initiatoren zu diesem innovativen Projekt und im Laufe der Entwicklung stets eine positiv treibende Kraft.
http://www.bertrandt.com/referenzen/ford/ford-visos.html

You will see that the German term is "Seriensitz", what corresponds to the English and French terms.

This corresponds to „standard seat“ as well as to “production seat”.

standard seat der Seriensitz Pl.: die Seriensitze
production seat [AUTOM.] der Seriensitz Pl.: die Seriensitze
http://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/Seriensitz

Additional translations:

• Änderungen, die dem technischen Fortschritt dienen und daraus resultierende Abweichungen zum Seriensitz vorbehalten.
:
• Subject to modifications serving engineering progress and deviations compared to the standard type seat arising therefrom.
:
• Modifications du siège série servant au progrès technique réservées ainsi que les divergences qui en résultent.

Hierfür dürfen, falls erforderlich, Löcher in den Seriensitz gebohrt werden.
:
Pour ce faire, le siège de série pourra être percé.

neutral  Tony M: It doesn't really mean a mass-produced seat, as your ref. refers to, but rather, the standard seat for this production vehicle. / It actually says 'standard production seat', which makes a difference in EN.

  -> You will see that Bertrandt uses "production seat" and "siège produit en série" for the German term "Seriensitz" and that this corresponds to "standard seat" and to "production seat". I trust that an OEM knows the terminology.
