Development of chassis concepts

IAMT Engineering develops concepts for proven and innovative chassis solutions – including twist (torsion) beam, McPherson, double wishbone and multi-link axle/suspension systems, not to mention concepts for electromobility.

Proven solutions and innovative inspiration are part and parcel of our axle and suspension development approach – all backed up, of course, by our specialist system competence in chassis engineering.
