               Whatever your challenge may be, we are your partner for the  
               development of the suspension system and vehicle dynamics by  
               providing support from first concept decisions up to the review of  
               the pre-production vehicle:
                We ensure a good mechanical system as a basis for the vehicle 
                performance through a holistic approach.
                We can provide an early vehicle dynamics prediction and a high 
                maturity of your vehicle model before prototypes are built through 
                simulation.
                With co-simulation we consider the control systems (MiL, SiL, HiL).
                The consideration of testing and subjective assessment ensures 
                the correlation of the vehicle model as well as further improvement 
                according to the performance targets.
