ClearMotion Announces Pivotal Partnership with BWI Group
Boston, MA (PRWEB) July 11, 2023 -- ClearMotion, the leading software-defined chassis company revolutionizing the in-cabin experience, today announced their partnership with BWI Group, a global leader in automotive braking and suspension system technology, to supply essential full-active suspension components and subsystems to a leading electric vehicle manufacturer.
This marks a pivotal moment in the company’s history as it establishes a clear advantage in an emerging market focused on an elevated in-cabin experience. After extensive research and development, the ClearMotion1 high-bandwidth active suspension system is ready for mass production and consumer use.
The CM1 active suspension system combines BWI Group’s unique market-leading vehicle suspension technology with ClearMotion’s deep intellectual property portfolio and know-how of vehicle and hydraulic motor/pump control. Coupled with ClearMotion’s control algorithms and integrated master control software, this brings dramatic levels of passenger compartment motion control in both dynamic and static situations: when integrated with the infotainment system, CM1 delivers an immersive in-cabin experience, too.
"We're delighted to secure BWI as a key strategic partner, leveraging our combined expertise to revolutionize suspension technology,” said Christian Steinmann, CEO of ClearMotion. “Active suspension plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance of electric and ADAS vehicles, enabling passenger productivity. This partnership with BWI solidifies our shared vision to advance these technologies, driving a new era of sustainable and intelligent mobility."
ClearMotion1 creates entirely new possibilities for consumers by canceling unwanted motion in the car. This not only improves ride comfort, productivity, and safety, but also allows for a truly personalized in-cabin experience, whether that be working from the vehicle or enjoying a nausea-free ride. Looking towards the driving experience of the future, ClearMotion1 will create an unparalleled immersive in-car entertainment experience, with the ability to coordinate motion control in both dynamic and static situations.
“Drawing upon our proprietary and extensive suspension damping system expertise, BWI technology solved inherent technical challenges usually present in high-bandwidth full-active suspension systems,” said George Chang, CEO of BWI Group. “ClearMotion and BWI Group make a great team, utilizing our respective strengths to empower smart mobility. Looking forward BWI will continue to introduce world class suspension technology towards bringing revolutionary ride and drive experiences to our global customers.”
This latest partnership comes at the heels of recent momentum from the company. ClearMotion announced a $39 million funding round in 2022, followed by a $32 million funding round in 2023, and most recently, a landmark production order from an EV automaker. ClearMotion in partnership with BWI is on track to deliver its game-changing active chassis technology to consumers globally next year.
