Top Automotive Air Suspension Companies

The global automotive air suspension market is characterized by intense competition based on strategic innovation, product differentiation, and regional growth. Advanced technologies to improve ride and drive performance are priorities for companies. For example, in June 2024, Nidec Corporation announced a new air suspension motor created by its Chinese subsidiary. The space saving brushless motor delivers reliability and fast responsiveness to power air compressor regulating suspension height. By dynamic height adjustment according to driving conditions, Nidec cements market leadership, resonating with an even wider industry trend toward comfort-centric and performance-driven suspension systems.

Startup Landscape

Established in 2020, KH Automotive Technologies' core mission is to develop advanced electronic air suspension systems exclusively for Chinese passenger cars. KH Automotive Technologies has risen to the ranks by offering air suspension systems to leading Chinese EV manufacturers like Li Auto and Voyah. The company focuses on designing air springs, controllers, and full assembly systems, with a focus on integration with OEMs. Their recent Series B funding of USD 72 million reflects investors' faith in their technology and future growth prospects. As the rate of electronic air suspension penetration in China is expected to increase by 2025, KH Automotive stands to gain from this growing market.

Founded in 2009, ClearMotion's core mission is to improve ride quality for vehicles by innovative active suspension technology. ClearMotion has come up with the ClearMotion1 system, which leverages both hardware and software to substantially cut down vehicle motion by around 75% compared to conventional systems. This technology has been met with partnership offers from big auto players, including Porsche, which is working with ClearMotion to test and potentially install this system on its cars. The ability of the system to predict road conditions ahead and make real-time suspension adjustments provides an improved driving experience without requiring vehicle redesigns. ClearMotion's technology is a tremendous leap forward in suspension technology that will establish new standards for ride comfort and vehicle dynamics.
