Monroe Ride Solutions has launched a new variant of its CVSA2 (Continuous Valve Semi-Active 2-valve) technology featuring steel-tube dampers equipped with dual electro-hydraulic valves. This new steel model adds to the company’s existing CVSA2 Performance offering, which combines a dual-valve design with lightweight aluminium dampers.
The steel-tube version of CVSA2 is suitable for a broad range of vehicle types, including large battery-electric SUVs, off-road vehicles and luxury vehicles, and is being launched with multiple Chinese automotive manufacturers.
According to Monroe the new variant enhances comfort and handling by independently controlling the rebound and compression damping characteristics of each semi-active damper in real time, based on driver inputs and accelerometer and body displacement data. In addition, the system is designed to help deliver a more controlled driving feel, particularly during abrupt manoeuvres.
The new Monroe Intelligent Suspension CVSA2 steel-tube dampers are manufactured at Monroe Ride Solutions’ facilities in Ermua, Spain, and Changzhou, China.
