Italian company Marelli innovates with digital suspension technology for hybrid and electric vehicles and vehicle performance can become 100% better
Marelli, the Italian automotive technology company, has revealed its latest innovation: the digital suspension, a system that promises to transform the comfort and performance of hybrid and electric vehicles. The new suspension technology eliminates the use of conventional shock absorbers and uses four electric actuators connected to a suspension arm to provide a smooth and stable driving experience, according to the O Tempo website.
Digital suspension technology: the future of vehicles
Marelli's vehicle technology system uses electric actuators controlled by an electronic unit, which dynamically monitors and adjusts the damping force according to road conditions. This results in a smoother and more controlled driving, especially when cornering and during acceleration and braking.
In addition to improving vehicle comfort and performance, digital suspension technology also introduces an important innovation: the ability to regenerate energy. As well as braking systems regenerative energy in electric cars, the suspension can convert part of the kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is stored in a 48V battery. This not only makes the vehicle system more efficient, but also helps reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

How suspension technology works
Marelli's digital suspension features a revolutionary energy recovery system. Similar to regenerative braking technology in hybrid and electric vehicles, this system converts part of the kinetic energy generated during vehicle operation into electrical energy. This electricity is then stored in a 48V battery, contributing to greater energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
The future of automotive suspension
Although there is not yet a confirmed date for the commercial implementation of the digital suspension, Marelli is conducting tests and has sparked the interest of several automotive companies. With your potential to redefine comfort standards, performance and efficiency, this innovation has the power to transform the future of passenger cars and take the driving experience to a new level.
