An interesting new active suspension system has been developed, which its creator – Domin, an engineering company based in Bristol, UK – claims is the lightest weight, most compact, and lowest energy consuming system on the market. The intelligent and integrated unit can actively adapt to any road surface in order to generate an optimal balance between comfort and performance.
The company says its Domin Suspension is unique in the automotive market, because rather than controlling damping through solenoid valves, this system makes use of high-performing servo valves. The system can shift to higher spring rates for dynamic manoeuvres with what Domin claims is “almost no” power consumption, or the suspension can set a low base spring-rate for comfort when needed and stiffen it in milliseconds when demanded. The high internal pressures enable a compact, lightweight package.
By combining Domin’s existing world-class technology, they have been able to produce active suspension that can maximise energy efficiency with the lightest and lowest energy consuming system on the market.
“Domin’s Active Suspension system marks a significant leap forward in automotive suspension technology,” said Simon Jones, CTO of Domin. “By combining advanced hydraulic technology with smart connectivity, we offer a solution that not only enhances vehicle performance but also improves energy efficiency.”
