Twist beam axle (TBA) is a common type of rear suspension for passenger cars. In this paper, the historical development of TBAs has been systematically reviewed at first. Their structural and kinematic characteristics, advantages and disadvantages have been summarized. Subsequently, more than ten new technologies with aspect to structure, manufacturing process, material, design software, etc., for further development of TBAs in recent years have been introduced and discussed. At last, future prospectives of TBAs under the trend of vehicle lightweight and electrification, chassis platform design and active control have been outlined.
