The chassis has a decisive influence on the customer experience of the car during the ride. Driving dynamics, driving comfort and driving behaviour define the character of an automobile. Our team has long-standing experience with different systems and components.
However, with every vehicle generation the development faces the same challenges again:
Therefore we offer our competence and experience we have gathered for all assemblies of the chassis, for supplementing and supporting the customer competence:
We perform the following works at chassis for passenger cars and light utility vehicles:
The development of driving dynamics and axle kinematics defines the DNA of a chassis; for our customers this is normally a part of their own core competence.
However we are proud of being a development partner in this field, too.
The geometric integration of axle components and complete axles is one of our main activities in the chassis development. For this, we are working in an autonomous, structured and documented way with our customers, suppliers and further interface partners.
The design of chassis parts is another main business area in our development.
We draft assemblies and components in early product development phases, fine-tune these in the ongoing development process up to the transfer to a nominated supplier or until after series start.
We apply our overall vehicle competence for the laying of hoses and lines through the vehicle package.
The analysis is integrated in almost all of our services as an important development step.
Following up to the development of chassis components and systems, we offer mule and prototype vehicle build. For this, we are aware of the special requirements to chassis test vehicles.
Prototyping of components and vehicles:
We are specialised on the assembly of prototype vehicles with a special focus on the chassis.
In the scope of chassis development packages, we also perform the planning and the coordination of testing with the result of a series release at due date.
Our chassis development offer is rounded off by the chassis setup, performed for us by experienced engineers.
The implementation of an operating load determination is important. New measuring procedures must be used because old measured values are outdated. We always strive to be up-to-date and to adapt the test load case to state-of-the-art technology.
