| Our goal is to keep the unsprung mass below 20% of the total wheel weight, reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, and keep the total weight of the modules below that of the traditional components we're replacing," says Royce. Though Siemens VDO's engineers are used to designing durable automotive electronics, making components that can withstand the strain and vibration associated with the unsprung mass of a tire directly in contact with the road was a new challenge. This greatly improves their ability to manage unsprung mass, and reduce ride harshness. |
