    PSDcast – Active Suspension Systems in Electric Vehicles
    06/04/2025

    ­One of the more interesting trends to emerge in the automotive landscape is the broader availability of active suspension systems.  While the idea, itself, was tossed around as far back as the 1950s, it didn’t become a thing until 80’s, though it was cost-prohibitive. And even today, being able to adjust suspension in real-time is mostly a luxury feature, though Hongfa and Vicor aim to change that.

    And on the line to discuss that is Patrick Wadden, the Global VP of Vicor's Automotive Business Unit.
