chassis.tech plus 2021

In chassis development, the three aspects of safety, vehicle dynamics and driving comfort are at the top of the list of challenges to be faced. This becomes even more complex when the chassis is required to interact with assistance systems and other systems for fully automated driving. New demands are also created by the introduction of modern electric and electronic architectures. All these requirements must be met by the chassis along with its subsystems steering, brakes, tires and wheels.

The chassis will play a key role in the future of the automobile. End customers want a dynamic driving experience – without any compromise on safety. At the same time, automated and autonomous functions are generating higher demands for comfort. The future lies in platforms that can be combined as flexibly as possible. The aim is to optimize the interaction between chassis systems to achieve functional integration.
