Past event: Automotive Chassis Systems USA 2025 Conference

Electrification of the drivetrain, advent of the software-defined vehicles and centralized control and new developments in autonomous and automated driving are inarguably the biggest drivers for technological progress and implementation in automotive braking, steering and suspension systems. Keeping cost low is at the heart of it all.

As the industry moves from traditional to by-wire systems, and new vehicle and systems architectures are developed, vehicle manufacturers are actively working towards balancing cost with innovation, achieving premium feel & performance, increasing ride comfort and ride handling, while meeting regulatory requirements including Euro-7. Ensuring the braking, steering and suspension segments work together has never been more important.

With presentations and discussions tailored to the requirements of each segment; braking, steering, suspension and chassis control, Automotive Chassis Systems USA will give attendees the opportunity to merge at various points over the course of three days to network, share best practices and find solutions to shared challenges.
