Since the push for electric vehicles and changing vehicle architecture in the past three years, industrialization of suspension technology has accelerated for the US passenger and commercial vehicle segment, and the more unique off-road vehicle market.
However, US vehicle manufacturing companies are cost-conscious, and cost is a big driver for the suspension segment; OEMs are very interested in lowering cost, improving margins, and making vehicles more technically capable. The end goal for OEMs is to integrate active suspension in vehicles for increased ride comfort on higher levels of autonomy and improve aerodynamic performance, specifically on highways- for electric vehicles to improve vehicle range.
As powertrain technology evolves, and become faster and more powerful, and companies look for ways to lean on suspension systems to ensure the car is safe, controllable, comfortable, differentiable, and easy to drive, the Automotive Advanced Suspension Systems USA plenary digs deep into major industry motivators and delivers solutions to the industry’s greatest challenges.
