Air Suspension and Damper Control for Passenger Cars and Light Commercial Vehicles
For more than 20 years, WABCO has developed one of the industry-leading chassis control systems for the original equipment passenger car and light commercial vehicle markets.
WABCO’s most recent developments include the unified control of air suspension and active shock absorbers, providing ride comfort in all driving conditions.
As a leading supplier of air supply units, compressors and controls for Electronically Controlled Air Suspension (ECAS) and Electronic Shock Absorber Control (ESAC), to the automotive market, WABCO has improved air suspension systems through a number of strategies.
Vehicle dynamics expertise ensures vehicle systems performance and customer expectations are realized.
Vehicle systems integration expertise improves overall chassis system performance and functionality.
More than 2 decades of development experience of ECAS systems, controls and mechanical components provides a solid foundation of product performance and quality.
Customized design an high level of functional integration in combination with automated production methods were key to the introduction of Air Suspension in compact class.
Development of Simulation Methods and Tools for vehicles and systems validation enables the cycle of continuous improvement to support future development. As an example, WABCO has developed the ability to simulate pneumatic systems behavior, and to validate system functionality on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test benches and test vehicles.
