Steering and suspension 36 www.aftermarketonline.net NOVEMBER 2024 Advanced suspension systems will be in the spotlight in Munich this month at the 13th Annual Advanced Suspension Systems Europe 2024 event. Automotive IQ’s flagship event on November 26-28, part of the Automotive Chassis Systems Technical Conferences and Exhibition Week, will reflect the rapid increase in advanced suspension systems in parallel to the latest vehicle electrification trends. More and more state-of-the-art technologies are on the horizon to fulfil new electromobility demands and challenges, with a greater emphasis on achieving cost-efficiency throughout the vehicle. Automotive IQ, which is a global online community of more than 100,000 automotive industry professionals and experts said while several automotive companies are actively working on optimising existing suspension systems, the majority of vehicle manufacturers and Tier-1 companies are designing, developing, and integrating new semi-active, fully- active and air suspension systems. On the one hand, customers are demanding a higher level of ride comfort and ride handling without compromising vehicle performance. On the other hand, vehicle manufacturers are facing enormous pressure to reduce system costs and development time, increase response time and the robustness of the suspension and manage lightweighting challenges.
