LAKE FOREST, Ill., Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Owners of
Volkswagen's new ID.3 electric vehicle can benefit from a variety
of innovative technologies, including an advanced semi-active
suspension from DRiV that senses and adapts to changing road
conditions for a more controlled and comfortable ride. DRiV™ is a
Tenneco Inc. (NYSE: TEN) division and leading global provider of
aftermarket and OE ride performance products and services.
The ID.3 model can be equipped with a Continuously Variable
Semi-Active suspension with external valve (CVSAe), one of several
electronic suspension technologies available through DRiV's
Monroe® Intelligent Suspension portfolio. The system
senses and continuously adapts to changing road and driving
conditions via four electronically controlled dampers. An
electronic control unit (ECU) processes various sensor inputs and
controls the electronic valve on each damper. The driver can select
a preferred driving mode, either Comfort or Sport, to experience
the desired ride and handling characteristics.
"The ID.3 is engineered to give drivers a very personalized and
enjoyable ride," said Henrik
Johansson, vice president and general manager, Advanced
Suspension Technology, DRiV. "We are excited to bring these
benefits as an option to the owners of this appealing new vehicle
from Volkswagen."
The ID.3 is the first vehicle built on Volkswagen's new modular
all-electric platform. Designed to be both efficient and
affordable, it offers a connected driver experience in a compact
package that includes voice-activated controls, an "augmented
reality" display projected onto the windshield, wireless device
charging and extra interior space.
CVSAe suspension technology from DRiV is featured in more than
40 popular vehicle models. To learn more, visit
