ERJ staff report (DS)
Weinheim, Germany -- Vibracoustic claims a world-first with the development of a sleeve-type airspring for trucks. The new design offers better suspension, lower weight, smaller volume and improved comfort.

As a result, customers save high-priced body components with a weight reduction of up to several hundred kilograms. The sleeve type airspring meets the most stringent demands made in terms of driving comfort and durability. "
The product will be awarded an Innovatino prize at Equipauto next week in Paris. it wil be the launch of a new range of airpsrings, called the aircruise bionics range, due to be launched in the coming days.
