Chassis

FEV's customers demand exceptional dynamic performance.  They want optimal driving dynamics for their new vehicles. At FEV, Chassis development specialists understand the dynamic requirements of our customers.  In a sense, we all speak the same language but with different dialects. FEV engineers understand that not every vehicle should be as dynamic as a sportscar, but the ultimate dynamic performance is what the end customer expects from a particular vehicle.

 

Chassis

The experience of our engineering staff is deeply rooted in a global complement of OEM development departments and suppliers, which allows FEV to assemble a team that is uniquely suited to your project. The integration of a chassis into a new vehicle (derivative), with regard to classical vehicle dynamics, is one of our primary functions. This foundation helps support the integration of modern active mechatronic systems, such as ABS, ESP and EPS. These active systems are a logical step that has been implemented in many projects. Some special highlights include FEV's capabilities and experience in the integration of tires into a new (or existing) vehicle and the integration of all supplier-related activities.

chassis tuning & set-up

Experienced engineers can set up the chassis for large volume production programs or single prototypes, based on your specific needs.

resources

FEV's resources consist of qualified engineers in the field of testing, tuning, design and calculation, but we also work with state-of-the-art tools such as CAE software and test equipment.

from concept to sop

Not only can FEV develop a concept for an axle system, but we can guide you through the development process from this concept to mass production.

simulations

Simulation of chassis systems is part of FEV's daily routine, but we also predict the complete vehicle's behavior with regards to steering, handling and ride comfort.

benchmark & target setting

To set the targets for a new customer project, we perform a broad range of benchmarking investigations and apply the results of our extensive benchmarking database.

objective testing

FEV can perform nearly any test related to vehicle dynamics, but we also develop specific test procedures and define objective metrics derived from subjective driving impressions.

tire test competence center

We offer a unique tire testing experience and are capable of nearly any tire development task, utilizing engineers with experience from both tire and vehicle manufacturers.

mechatronics

Whether it is "just" ABS or ESP tuning or developing a complete new active system, for mechatronic knowledge and experience, FEV is the right choice.

chassis nvh

FEV's unique approach to combining NVH with ride and handling in chassis development projects results in better solutions for both areas.

market adaptation

Our worldwide presence and experience make us the right partner for localizing and market adaptation.

workshops & training

FEV can provide workshops with your vehicles.  In addition, we can also provide workshops and training for your engineers.
