Tenneco’s CVSA2 Advanced Suspension Technology Now Available for Use in SUV Applications

Tenneco Inc. (NYSE:TEN), a global supplier of Ride Performance and Clean Air products and systems, has announced that its CVSA2 semi-active suspension technology – a cornerstone of its Monroe® Intelligent Suspension portfolio that was originally developed for the sports car market – has been adapted for use in SUV applications. In addition, the company has announced optional hydraulic height and level control enhancements, along with scalability to its more advanced CVSA2/Kinetic® H2 roll-control and CVSA2/Kinetic X2 pitch-control systems.

00:00:02 when exceptional ride performance is the objective tena koe CBS a to kinetic technology is the ideal choice as part of the Munroe intelligent suspension portfolio this advanced technology was first developed to bring superior handling stability and driver enjoyment to luxury sports cars these and a variety of additional upgrade options are now also available for SUVs the new

00:00:32 CBS a two kinetics solution features a high robust design reflecting SUVs higher curb weights as well as the greater dynamic loads these vehicles commonly encounter in on and off road conditions the solution combines precise damping control through CBS a2 technology enhanced roll control through kinetic h2 technology and variable ride height control through air suspension

00:01:01 and hydraulic lifting technology these new capabilities are also available for sports cars kinetic h2 roll control technology improves vehicle stability reduces lien and increases traction making vehicles both easier to control and more fun to drive the system generates anti-roll force by diverting oil from hydraulic circuits on one side of the vehicle to the other

00:01:29 vehicles fitted with the system also benefit from enhanced driving comfort when driving over uneven road surfaces vehicles using conventional anti-roll bars often caused head toss among drivers and passengers because the vehicle control unit disengages roll control function in straight-line driving this condition is significantly reduced the CBSA to kinetic solution can

00:01:56 be further enhanced through the pitch control functionality this capability available in tena COEs kinetic x ii system leads to improved stability during braking and acceleration as well as reduced braking distance drive rate and drive angle [Music] the main benefits of this system are vehicle stability control and safety
