The paper addresses three primary areas relative to Composite Springs: Vehicle requirements will be rolled down to Subsystems and Components. At the component level the use of innovative, lightweight composite materials provides a significant advantage. Besides ensuring technical feasibility, implementation on high volume production vehicles is essential for competing with aluminum and steel materials. Within suspension, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) suspension links as well as lateral and longitudinal leaf springs made from Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) materials are capable solutions. The low mass offered by composite materials when applied to the unsprung portion of the suspension contributes to improved Vehicle handling and ride dynamics.Based on the experience of the successful implementation of the GFRP transverse leaf springs for the Volvo Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform, the paper will discuss recent developments in composite leaf springs: The paper focuses on a detailed look at evolving Vehicle architectures including new and innovative solutions. The paper discusses only proposed Engineering solutions; it does not comprehend or imply supplier relationships and/or legal assessments.
