Technology proven a million times over
Multi-chamber air suspension systems provide a driving experience that bridges the gap between comfort and driving dynamics. They are used in luxury class vehicles.
By switching air suspension chambers on and off, different driving modes - from comfortable to sporty - can be realized via the spring rate settings. The chambers are switched on and off via the integrated switching valve. As well as optimizing comfort, this also increases driving stability and thus safety.
RAPA Automotive's shift valve technology, which has proven itself millions of times over, can be used to set different priorities depending on customer requirements. For example, we develop special low-noise versions that are used in electric vehicles (BEV) in particular to avoid disruptions caused by shifting noise.
