    Abstract: A vehicle trim element having at least one coating layer that includes a main layer of a composition having at least natural fibers, a thermoplastic polymer, and a binding agent. The fibers and thermoplastic polymer are ground to form an assembly of particles each having a size substantially between 0.1 and 3.2 mm. The particle assembly is mixed and compressed with the binding agent.

    Abstract: A module trim element having a body defining an upper bearing surface, at least one first covering element defining a first upper bearing surface, mounted rotating about a first axis of rotation between a retracted position and at least one deployed position, and at least one second covering element defining a second upper bearing surface and mounted rotating about a second axis of rotation between a retracted position and at least one deployed position. The first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are substantially parallel and extend at different heights relative to the body, with at least one of the upper bearing surfaces being a flexible surface and at least another one of the upper bearing surfaces being a rigid surface.

    Abstract: A vehicle trim element and method for manufacturing the trim element. The method includes the steps of: supplying a substrate comprising natural fibers and thermoplastic fibers entangled together, supplying a first layer comprising a base layer and provided with at least one reinforcing and/or decorative element, and compressing the first layer against the substrate. The method also includes, prior to compression, aligning the first layer and the substrate by aligning a first positioning element of the substrate and a second positioning element of the first layer arranged outside the at least one reinforcing and/or decorative element.
