Working Within the system

摘要

The lines between suspension components will become increasingly blurred as a "systems" approach to suspension design takes hold. "Vertical integration" as it applies to the manufacture of vehicles as a whole, is now migrating to the suspension component level. The benefits to end-users include ride quality, safety and improved profitability, but integration is also laying the groundwork for the next generation of suspension developments, such as intelligent electronic suspension controls and work on new materials to further reduce weight.
