Why choose HPS for trucks?
Stable vehicle behaviour under varying loads
In trucks, the load changes continuously. HPS keeps vehicle behaviour stable across the full load spectrum, from empty to heavily loaded, thanks to a constant natural frequency response. Comfort and vehicle control remain predictable, regardless of the load.
Ride comfort on asphalt and unpaved terrain
Hydropneumatic suspension absorbs load changes more effectively than conventional air suspension. HPS damps shocks and movements more effectively, contributing to driver comfort, cargo protection and reduced mechanical load on the superstructure.
Compact integration, greater design freedom
HPS has a compact system architecture, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of truck platforms. For OEMs and vehicle manufacturers, this provides more packaging space and greater freedom in vehicle design. This is particularly relevant for new vehicle concepts and specialist bodies.

Reliability and system integration
Integrated level control
HPS automatically corrects ride height under changing loads, without the need for separate components. This results in more consistent vehicle behaviour and better support of the superstructure during operation.
Low total cost of ownership
The system requires minimal maintenance and has been developed for reliable performance in harsh conditions. Its high hydraulic efficiency contributes to lower energy consumption compared with conventional air suspension. For truck operations, this means less unplanned downtime and lower operating costs.
Complies with ISO 26262 and ISO 21434
HPS is the world’s first hydropneumatic suspension system to comply with both ISO 26262 (functional safety) and ISO 21434 (cybersecurity). For OEMs and contracting organisations that require these standards, this provides a concrete fit with current homologation requirements.

Integrate HPS into your truck platform?
Every truck places different demands on installation space, axle configuration, load, terrain type and performance. That is why our experts contribute from the development phase onwards to the integration of HPS and determine together with you which configuration best matches your vehicle concept.
