Suspension systems for motorhomes, vans and LCV applications

Light commercial vehicles (LCVs) are used for a wide range of applications, from motorhomes and commercial vehicles to electric delivery platforms. Each application has specific requirements in terms of load control, ride comfort and level control. Hemscheidt and VSE’s suspension systems are tailored to the application and support conventional, hybrid and electric LCV platforms, from bodybuilding to OEM integration.

LCV

HPS Advanced

HPS Advanced is ideal for light commercial vehicles (LCVs) requiring maximum stability, precise axle load distribution and active load management, even when carrying heavy loads on uneven terrain or when the centre of gravity is raised. It is also suitable for heavier camper vans, electric LCV platforms with higher axle loads due to battery packs and specialist bodywork with a raised centre of gravity.

HPS

HPS provides the advantages of hydropneumatic springs within a robust, basic design. This highly versatile system is suitable for a wide range of light commercial vehicle (LCV) applications with varying load conditions, from commercial vans to entry-level campervan platforms.

Why choose our suspension systems?

More comfort and stability under varying loads
Hydropneumatic suspension systems enhance the handling and stability of vehicles when carrying asymmetrical or varying loads.

Level control and stabilisation when stationary
Active vertical and lateral control provides automatic levelling, eliminating the need for additional stabilisation systems.

Compact and efficient for electric platforms
The compact system architecture reduces weight, preserves load space and simplifies integration.

Suitable for electric and hybrid LCV platforms
The systems are designed to cope with higher axle loads and are suitable for hybrid and fully electric vehicle platforms.

Technical support for body builders and OEMs

We have expertise in mechanics, hydraulics, electronics and software. This allows us to provide support not just at the component level, but also at the system and integration levels. We support bodybuilders, OEMs and upfitters from the earliest stages of development. This could mean creating a new motorhome configuration, developing a new LCV platform, or designing a specialist variant with particular suspension and level control requirements.

Hydropneumatic suspension for LCVs

Hydropneumatic suspension systems keep LCVs stable and comfortable, even when the load varies considerably. This is typical of motorhomes that travel empty to a destination and are then fully loaded, but also of vans that switch daily between empty and fully loaded. The system supports optimum axle load distribution and contributes to even vehicle behaviour under a wide range of loading conditions.

In applications where vehicle levelling is important, the system supports functions such as transverse levelling and active height correction. This is relevant, for example, for motorhomes that must stand level on a campsite pitch, vehicles with extendable superstructures or applications on uneven ground.
