CVSAe technology is one of several electronic suspensions available in the

company's Monroe(R) Intelligent Suspension portfolio. CVSAe continuously adapts

to changing road conditions based on data provided by multiple sensors present

in the vehicle, resulting in optimal damping characteristics at all times. An

electronic control unit processes sensor inputs and independently adjusts the

current input to the electrohydraulic valve within each of the system's four

dampers. Multiple driving modes, from comfort-intensive to sporty, can be

configured, enabling drivers to select their preferred mode for maximum

enjoyment.

"CVSAe combines an exceptional driving experience with very low power

consumption, making it ideal for fully electric and hybrid vehicles," said

Henrik Johansson, vice president and general manager, Tenneco AST. "The ability

to control damping force over a wide tuning range is particularly helpful in

providing both excellent comfort and robust driving dynamics in electric

vehicles."

In addition to enhancing the driving experience, CVSAe suspension technology

can help increase safety through improved driver confidence and control and

reduced braking distance in many situations.

Tenneco engineers worked closely with Geely to integrate the CVSAe system's

control software into the new vehicle's Sustainable Experience Architecture

(SEA) and tune the suspension to achieve the automaker's preferred ride and

handling characteristics.  The CVSAe technology is integrated into the ZEEKR

001CCD damper system.

CVSAe dampers for the new model will be produced in Tenneco's AST manufacturing

facility in Changzhou, China.
