Chassis/Suspension Design

ESS has key core competency in both the design and development of Chassis and Suspension Systems. Ride and handling and frame stiffness characteristic are finely balanced between the art of "tried and true" engineering practices and state of the art analytical simulations. ESS utilizes advanced VPG Simulations to virtually determine design feasibility based on system stiffness, durability, fatigue, and testing specifications.  Our capabilities range from component redesign to the development of new modules.
