Developed for an Optimum Driving Experience: Our Axle and Chassis Components

In battery-electric vehicles, which are increasingly software-defined, as well as in vehicles with hybrid powertrains, modern chassis and axle components must meet a wide range of sometimes conflicting requirements today – from basic strength requirements and NVH characteristics to sustainability.

 

As function-critical assemblies, they are developed at the Hirschvogel Group with a focus on the vehicle as a whole. In addition to materials and manufacturing technology, virtual validation is playing an increasingly important role in this process.
