ClearMotion Suspension Demonstrator
Making Revolutionary Technology Tangible.

ClearMotion’s Powered Suspension Technology Demanded a Powerful Demonstrator

An immersive product demonstrator was designed to let OEM partners experience ClearMotion’s groundbreaking suspension technology firsthand. With customizable ride modes, dynamic vehicle gestures, and real-time terrain simulations, the demonstrator showcased the system’s ability to reduce cabin movement by up to 75%, thereby enhancing comfort, control, and performance.

At the heart of the demo was a fully equipped test platform featuring customizable ride modes that mitigated various real-world driving conditions, from rough off-road terrain to smooth highways and dynamic city driving. These modes allowed users to directly compare the ride quality with and without ClearMotion’s system activated, contrasting comfort, stability, and responsiveness. Dynamic vehicle gestures and factors such as pitch and roll control during acceleration, braking, and cornering were incorporated to showcase how the system maintains balance and composure under demanding conditions.

The result is a dramatic improvement in ride quality, enabling a smoother, quieter, and more controlled driving experience. By engaging both the body and the senses, the demo communicated the technical performance of ClearMotion’s suspension system. It emphasized its potential to transform vehicle dynamics, passenger comfort, and brand perception in future automotive platforms.
