The 15^th Munich Chassis Symposium - chassis.tech plus 2024

It is the variety of themes that makes this event unique. chassis.tech plus 2024 covered the entire bandwidth of chassis technologies from new products to sustainability, from steer-by-wire systems to software and from motion control to brake dust. Six keynote speeches and 49 presentations described the latest developments in the field of chassis and assistance systems. The symposium took place on June 4 and 5, 2024, in the Hotel Bayerischer Hof in Munich and more than 460 people attended. The highlight was a panel discussion with four of the keynote speakers and interactive participation from the audience.

The many symposium attendees, around of third of whom came from non-German-speaking countries, listened attentively to the informative technical presentations

In brief

Scientific Director of the Symposium:

Prof. Dr. Peter Pfeffer, Munich University of Applied Sciences

Summary:

Innovation and sustainability are the key factors in the development of a future-proof chassis.

The symposium exceeded expectations and brought together leading experts in chassis technology from all over the world.

The most impressive innovations included active suspension systems, on-board weighing equipment, efficient tire designs and the very latest brake-by-wire and steer-by-wire systems.

Inspirational discussions and interesting presentations gave profound insights into the most recent technology.

The opportunity for networking at the event allowed for in-depth conversations between representatives of industry, researchers and other experts.

Participants expressed their interest in a greater focus on subjects such as the links between the chassis and ADAS, lightweight design and cyber security at the next symposium.
