Active air suspension systems are typically expensive, which has limited their widespread adoption. In addition, unlike hydraulic systems, sensor advancements allow for weight reductions. Air spring systems have been shown to be effective at reducing body roll while maintaining comfort and control. However, increasing complexity has harmed reliability and serviceability, making performance issues relatively costly. According to a new fact. The MR report
Competitive Landscape
The global air springs market is moderately consolidated, with market leaders attempting to maintain a global presence. Major industry players have heavily invested in the development and launch of new offerings for their portfolios, in order to keep up with the frequent advances in associated technology.
- Vibracoustic, for instance, launched a switchable three-chamber air spring system in November 2020. The system comprises active-control shock absorbers, an electronic control unit, and software integration of the system into the vehicle.
- Continental AG, in October 2019, unveiled a lightweight air spring for commercial vehicles, which the company claims to reduce kerb weight by around 15 kilograms. The system comprises an integrated plastic roller piston technology, which also significantly reduces fuel consumption.
- In November 2020, Turnspire Capital Partners LLC subsidiary Infinity Engineered Products announced the acquisition of Goodyear® air springs from EnPro Industries Inc. The deal includes complete licensing rights, R&D center, manufacturing facilities, real estate, personnel, and intellectual property.
