Automotive Leaf Spring Suspension Market - Business Strategies and Recent Development

Key priorities of automotive manufacturers include increasing operational performance, improving drivability, and ensuring the safe transport of cargo and passengers. Increasing acceptance of hybrid and electric vehicles and integration of smart and connected technologies have prompted manufacturers to focus on improving the power and drivetrain systems such as clutch, transmission, propeller shaft, axle, and leaf springs. Leaf springs are located between the wheels and the body of the vehicle. When the wheel passes over a bump, it rises and deflects the spring; thereby, storing the energy in the spring. On releasing, due to the elasticity of the spring, it rebounds thereby expanding the stored energy. Increase in demand for automobiles globally, is driving the leaf spring market. The leaf springs are primarily used in light, medium, and heavy-duty commercial vehicles such as pick-up trucks and vans. Some passenger car manufacturers rely on use of leaf spring technology for bet...
