Active suspension systems in electric vehicles
Power designs are moving from 12V to 48V because of the competitive advantage it provides. Vicor power modules support this trend with smaller and more efficient power delivery networks. Listen to the podcast.
Podcast with Patrick Wadden, Global Vice President, Vicor Automotive Business Unit
One of the more interesting trends to emerge in the automotive landscape is the broader availability of active suspension systems. While the idea, itself, was tossed around as far back as the 1950s, it didn’t become a thing until 80’s, though it was cost-prohibitive. And even today, being able to adjust suspension in real-time is mostly a luxury feature, though Hongfa and Vicor aim to change that.
