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.
