Italian Company Marelli Innovates with Digital Suspension Technology for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles, and Vehicle Performance Can Become 100% Better

Marelli, an Italian automotive technology company, unveiled its latest innovation: digital suspension, a system that promises to transform the comfort and performance of hybrid and electric vehicles. The new suspension technology eliminates the need for conventional shock absorbers and uses four electric actuators connected to a suspension arm to provide a smooth and stable driving experience, according to O Tempo.

Digital Suspension Technology: The Future of Vehicles

Marelli’s vehicle technology system uses electric actuators controlled by an electronic unit, which monitors and dynamically adjusts the damping force according to road conditions. This results in a smoother and more controlled driving experience, especially in turns and during acceleration and braking.

In addition to improving the comfort and performance of vehicles, digital suspension technology also features an important innovation: the ability to regenerate energy. Similar to regenerative braking systems 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 systems more efficient but also helps reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

How the 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 no confirmed date for the commercial implementation of digital suspension, Marelli is conducting tests and has sparked interest from various automotive companies. With its potential to redefine comfort, performance, and efficiency standards, this innovation has the power to transform the future of passenger cars and elevate the driving experience to a new level.

The Future of Automotive Suspension

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The coastal El Niño is not the classic El Niño, but it already raises a question in Brazil: can the phenomenon alter rain, heat, and winter?

The commander of the Brazilian Army publicly admitted that the country now perceives real threats in South America, something that, according to him, did not exist in the past, and advocates for the increasing use of drones and technology to secure the borders.

In China, even those who beg on the street already have a QR Code, paper money has practically disappeared from daily life in just ten years, and the entire country has come to live on invisible payments via mobile phones.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.
