New concept for the front and rear suspension taking advantage of the opportunity offered by the electrification process

Abstract

The electrification process which has been started in the automotive market opens a lot of opportunities to the engineers to think again to the best solution they can design in order to have the best result in terms of functionality, performance and costs. As the constraints in an battery electric vehicle change, also the answers to the questions every engineer has during the development can be different in comparison to the standard solutions which are now widespread in the market. This revolution doesn’t affect only the powertrain development, the controls and the human-machine interface, but could affect all the fields present in a car development.
