OEM chassis components strategy
The automotive industry is not new to technology collaborations, as is visible from the evolution of components such as the manual steering systems to steer-by-wire (SBW) systems being developed today. However, this trend has spread to many more components with the help of electronics. The automotive chassis sector is a direct example of how successfully electronics have been able to enhance relatively simple mechanical components and elevate not just the comfort and handling in a vehicle, but its overall efficiency and safety performance. The inclusion of electronics is quite widespread today. IHS Markit expects electronics to enable low-cost markets to adopt advanced chassis components, including semiactive dampers, air suspensions, and electrohydraulic braking systems, even in volume-segment cars in the long term.
