In order to accurately study and judge the evolution direction of cutting-edge automotive suspension technology during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, build industry consensus, and further deepen technological innovation and industrial cooperation in the field of automotive active suspension, the "2026 Automotive Active Suspension Technology Innovation Forum" was held in Changsha, Hunan Province from January 23 to 25, 2026. The forum was hosted by the Suspension Technology Branch of the Chinese Society of Automotive Engineers, and jointly organized by Shenzhen Magmet (002851) Electric Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Anhengxun Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Institute of Technology National Engineering Research Center for Electric Vehicles, and Automotive Dynamics Branch, bringing together OEMs from FAW, BAIC, GAC, Dongfeng Motor, Changan Automobile, Great Wall Motor (601633), Jiangling Motors (000550), Lantu Automobile, Deep Blue Automobile and other OEMs; FAW Fuao, Shanghai Xijie, Marelli, Wandu, Bosch, United Electronics, Baolong Technology (603197), BWI Zhixing, Shanghai Huizhong, Zhuzhou Times New Materials (600458), Bingling Intelligence, Shanghai Xinsong, Moog (MOOG), Yuanchi, Anzhi, Zhiheng Vibration Damping and other head suspension and auto parts and equipment enterprises; More than 160 specially invited experts and representatives from Beijing Institute of Technology, Jilin University, Hunan University, Tsinghua University, Tongji University, Hefei University of Technology, Jiangsu University, Chongqing University, Southwest Jiaotong University and other scientific research institutes conducted in-depth exchanges on hot topics such as fully active suspension, electromagnetic and hydraulic execution technology, system integration and engineering applications, and held parts exhibitions and technology demonstrations at the same time. The forum was presided over by Chen Xiaokai, Secretary General of the Suspension Technology Branch of the Chinese Society of Automotive Engineers, Zhang Xinjie, Vice Chairman, and Jiang Rongxun, General Manager of Hangzhou Anhengxun Technology Co., Ltd.
In the technology display session, the participants participated in the actual car test drive and exhibition hall visit. Based on the real vehicle platform, Anhengxun Technology Co., Ltd. conducted a dynamic demonstration of the new generation of active hydraulic suspension system under multiple working conditions, focusing on the body attitude control effect of the vehicle under acceleration, braking, steering and complex road conditions, and focused on the engineering application level and comprehensive performance of the system. In the straight-line acceleration and deceleration and steady-state ring winding conditions, the active hydraulic suspension effectively suppresses the vehicle's pitch and roll response through real-time adjustment of the suspension support characteristics, so that the vehicle can maintain a more stable body posture during starting, braking and continuous steering, which fully reflects the system's ability in longitudinal and lateral posture collaborative control. In addition, the demonstration vehicle also demonstrated the body height adjustment and continuous attitude change functions under static working conditions, which intuitively reflected the engineering performance of the active hydraulic suspension in terms of height control accuracy, response consistency and execution stability. This session deepens the intuitive understanding of the engineering effect and application value of related technologies through practical experience of the dynamic response characteristics of active suspension systems under different working conditions, and further promotes the integration of theoretical research and engineering practice.
In the roundtable forum session, presided over by Jiang Rongxun of Anhengxun Technology Co., Ltd., a number of guests from vehicle companies and parts suppliers conducted in-depth exchanges on "new needs, new challenges and new opportunities for automotive fully active suspension technology and product research and development", and fully discussed issues such as system cost, reliability, control complexity and industrialization path, and the atmosphere of on-site exchange was warm. Experts at the meeting believed that there are still many engineering problems in hardware reliability, NVH performance control, system integration complexity and cost constraints of fully active suspension, and it is urgent for OEMs and the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to work together to accelerate the engineering and industrialization process of technology. At the application level, different models have different demand focuses in comfort, handling and functional scenarios, and a hierarchical and hierarchical product layout should be built. From the perspective of technical route, hydraulic active suspension has more advantages in large-scale application in the near future, while electromechanical solutions show great potential in medium and long-term development.
At the end of the forum, Professor Lin Yi, honorary director of the Suspension Technology Branch of the Chinese Society of Automotive Engineers, made a concluding speech. He pointed out that new energy vehicles are entering a new stage of coordinated improvement of safety, energy saving and comfort, and the strategic position of the suspension system in the vehicle technology system continues to be highlighted. Regarding the development of active suspension technology, Professor Lin Yi emphasized the need to achieve key breakthroughs in modeling methods and performance evaluation systems to enhance engineering feasibility and system reliability. In the path of technological evolution, we should consolidate the application foundation with hydraulic solutions, and at the same time adhere to the core orientation of safety, energy saving and comfort, steadily promote the exploration of mechatronization, and promote the continuous maturity and development of active suspension technology.
The content of this forum is closely related to the frontier of active suspension technology and engineering practice, which fully reflects our country's research depth and industrial vitality in the field of intelligent suspension and active chassis. The Suspension Technology Branch of the Chinese Society of Automotive Engineers will continue to play a platform role, promote the deep integration of industry, education and research, and contribute to our country's automotive suspension technology innovation and industrial upgrading.
