THE CHALLENGE
ClearMotion aims to do for motion what noise-cancelling does for sound, mitigating roughness within a fraction of a second. Founded at MIT in 2009, to commercialise its proactive ride system it needed to prove to OEM customers and investors that it works. But each model for every OEM has a unique suspension layout. So multiple demonstration vehicles required the reconfiguration of original parts to accommodate ClearMotion.
WHAT WE DID
For each required vehicle we analyzed the package space and redesigned necessary parts such as dampers and anti-roll bars, to accommodate ClearMotion’s unit whilst retaining the performance criteria of the original vehicle. Prodrive manufactured and integrated all new parts at our Banbury HQ.
THE RESULTS
Prodrive has become the preferred supplier to ClearMotion, able to integrate the technology to better standards than the OEMs themselves. To date, we have designed and implemented solutions for 5 successive vehicle demonstrators for multiple OEMs models.
