Everything begins with the chassis. It’s where vehicle dynamics, safety, and mechanical integrity converge. IAV engineers chassis systems that not only respond to modern performance expectations but also serve as a foundation for intelligent, integrated driving experiences across electrified and autonomous platforms.

Shaping the Driving Experience from the Ground Up

In the midst of the mobility transformation, the chassis remains a defining element of how a vehicle feels, responds, and protects. At IAV USA, we engineer chassis systems that deliver precision, control, and comfort, while integrating seamlessly with electrified, connected, and automated platforms.

Our expertise spans the full development lifecycle, from concept and simulation to validation and integration. Whether you're building a next-generation EV or enhancing dynamics for automated driving, we bring the systems thinking and technical depth to make it happen.

Suspension Systems

Balancing Comfort and Control
We design suspension systems that adapt to both the road and the driver.

• Traditional and adaptive suspension development tailored to platform-specific dynamics
• Integration of electronically controlled dampers and actuators for real-time response to road conditions

Steering Systems

Precision in Every Turn
Our steering systems are engineered for responsiveness, safety, and integration with ADAS.

• Hydraulic and electric power steering systems optimized for feedback and control
• Steer-by-wire technology that removes mechanical linkages for greater design flexibility and redundancy

Braking Systems

Stopping Power with Intelligence
We combine mechanical reliability with digital precision to deliver safe, responsive braking.

• Hydraulic and regenerative braking systems designed for safety, energy recovery, and pedal feel
• Brake-by-wire systems that reduce mechanical complexity and enable advanced control strategies

Vehicle Dynamics Control

Stability You Can Feel, Safety You Can Trust
