One of the most noticeable changes that I have observed is the movement towards platform sharing. Vehicle manufacturers' adoption of global platform strategies has the potential to pose problems for chassis dynamics engineers owing to the high level of expensive hardware proliferation that is required to meet the demands of varied markets. But it also poses an opportunity for controlled or semi-active suspension systems which, through increased dynamic range, can eliminate the need for regional variations by providing software that can be optimised for each market. Recalibration of software can maintain model differentiation, while benefiting from hardware commonality, proven durability and the ability to fine-tune.
