Steering & chassis for electric vehicles: GSP delivers the right solution
Electric vehicles (EVs) have fundamentally changed the automotive world. Without spark plugs, turbochargers or injection systems, many classic wear parts are no longer required. But while the drivetrain is being simplified, the requirements are increasing – especially for steering and chassis components.
New requirements for steering and chassis
A decisive difference to vehicles with a combustion engine is the higher vehicle weight due to the battery system. This additional load puts more strain on the chassis, steering and suspension – which has a direct impact on ride comfort, handling and safety.
Components such as suspension joints, tie rods, wishbones and shock absorbers are exposed to higher mechanical loads. Without an appropriately robust design, this can lead to faster wear or premature failure.
Changing wear patterns in electric vehicles
- Control arms and suspension joints must absorb higher dynamic loads
- Tie rods and steering rods are subject to increased stress during steering movements
- Shock absorbers and springs must compensate for stronger compression forces
Without specially adapted components, these factors can impair comfort, driving stability and safety.
GSP solutions for electromobility
All GSP components are manufactured to OE specifications and undergo stringent quality checks. Our extensive range of EV-compatible spare parts is based on high-quality materials and guarantees durability and performance:
- Control arms and suspension joints made from high-strength alloys
- Optimized bearings for higher loads
- Reinforced coupling rods for increased load requirements
“Electric vehicles are setting new standards for mobility – and for the technology of their components. GSP ensures safety, performance and comfort with steering and chassis parts specially developed for EVs,” says Roman Haravoi, Sales & Marketing Director, GSP Europe.
Preventive maintenance is crucial
To ensure driving safety, regular inspection of steering and suspension systems is essential for electric vehicles. Load-bearing and precision steering components are exposed to higher dynamic forces. Early wear detection helps to avoid expensive repairs and ensure long-term reliability.
Conclusion
Electric vehicles reduce the need for maintenance in traditional areas – but pose new challenges, especially for steering and chassis. The higher weight changes the load patterns, making reinforced spare parts and preventive inspections essential.
GSP offers a comprehensive, durable product range that meets the requirements of modern e-mobility.
