With the DampTronic® select two-stage damper system, thyssenkrupp closes the gap between conventional, passive shock absorbers and elaborate, electronically and infinitely adjustable dampers. The advantage: in vehicles with DampTronic® select, by using a switch on the dashboard, the driver can alternate between two suspension configurations – e.g. standard or sports suspension.
Thanks to a great reduction in system costs, this system is an attractive proposition for even the compact and small car segments.
