Monroe Ride Solutions has expanded its Monroe Intelligent Suspension portfolio in Europe with a new **CVSA2 variant featuring steel-tube dampers and dual electro-hydraulic valves**. The variant was initially launched with multiple Chinese automotive manufacturers.

The new technology adds to the existing **CVSA2 Performance**, which combines the dual-valve design with lightweight aluminium dampers, and the CVSAe system.

The new CVSA2 variant provides **independent real-time control of rebound and compression damping** for each of the vehicle’s four semi-active dampers. Control is based on driver inputs, accelerometer data and body displacement data.

According to Monroe Ride Solutions, this enables OEMs to develop differentiated driving characteristics across a range of operating conditions, while enhancing **comfort and handling**. The system is also intended to provide a more controlled and confidence-inspiring driving feel, particularly during abrupt manoeuvres.

The technology is suitable for multiple vehicle types, including **large battery-electric SUVs, off-road vehicles and luxury vehicles**.

The new steel-tube dampers are manufactured at Monroe Ride Solutions facilities in **Ermua, Spain, and Changzhou, China**.
