The key drivers of innovation in the field of chassis systems are measures to improve vehicle dynamics and driving safety, efforts to reduce fuel consumption, and intelligent development methods. In addition, chassis development is focusing on enhancing ride comfort while also improving NVH characteristics. At the same time, modularization strategies, concepts for the electrification of the powertrain, and steps towards greater system connectivity are making increasingly complex demands on the chassis and its development. Developers are being called upon to respond to these challenges with a variety of solutions.

The increasing automation of driving functions and the electrification of powertrains present new challenges for the chassis with regard to complexity, redundancy, data security,and installation space. At the same time, the mobility of the future will also require entirely new vehicle concepts, particularly in urban areas. The intelligent chassis must be connected, electrified, and automated in order to be best prepared for this future.

Sustainability, electromobility, and automation in the transport sector: These megatrends are having a major impact on the overall chassis system. How exactly was discussed at chassis.tech plus 2023.  "The chassis system faces numerous challenges." - with these words, Professor Dr. Peter E. Pfeffer, Munich University of Applied Sciences, has opened chassis.tech plus 2023. These include automated driving, connectivity and, as a particularly major challenge, sustainability, said the symposium's scientific director. More than 400 participants from 20 countries gathered for the 14th International Munich Chassis Symposium. Key topics at chassis.tech plus 2023 included customized and innovative chassis, integrated chassis systems, smart steering, modern braking systems and reliable wheel-tire components. The second day of the event was concluded by keynotes from Thomas Sprengel (Porsche Engineering Services) on "Chassis development in China - overview and trends" and from Victor Underberg (Lamborghini) on "Lamborghini sports cars: evolution from ICE to PHEV". The 14th International Munich Chassis Symposium has taken place as a hybrid event on June 20 and 21, 2023 - in Munich and with a parallel livestream. Participants were able to use the four specialist sections to exchange information on the latest developments relating to chassis, steering, brakes, tires and wheels.ContentsChassis and Steering Tech: Sensor Systems.- Steer-by wire: Savety and Controllability.- Suspension.- Development Processes and MethodsBrake and Tire Wheel Tech: New brake systems.- Tire Wear and Particle Emission.- Efficiency and Sustainablility.- Tire Testing and SimulationTarget audiencesAutomotive engineers and chassis specialists as well as students looking for state-of-the-art information regarding their field of activity - Lecturers and instructors at universities and universities of applied sciences with the main subject of automotive engineering - Experts, researchers and development engineers of the automotive and the supplying industry.PartnerTÜV SÜD is an international leading technical service organisation catering to the industry, mobility and certification segment.
