ClearMotion Partners with Nio for Revolutionary Suspension in ET9 Sedan, Cutting In-Car Motion by 75%, China

US-based startup ClearMotion has partnered with Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio to integrate its advanced suspension technology into Nio’s upcoming luxury sedan, the ET9. The collaboration aims to enhance the passengers’ comfort and reduce in-car motion by 75% compared to existing suspension systems in the market. ClearMotion’s innovative ClearMotion1 suspension system combines hardware and software, utilizing a small unit with a motor and power electronics in each wheel well. The system analyzes sensor data to predict road conditions and mitigate chassis impact. ClearMotion sees this partnership and the expansion of its technology as vital in the ongoing revolution in the global EV market. The company is actively pursuing collaborations with various automakers across Europe and America and plans to announce another customer within the next year. Additionally, ClearMotion already operates a factory in China and is considering the establishment of more production facilities near its clientele. The suspension technology not only aims to enhance the driving experience for luxury vehicle owners but also has the potential to alleviate discomfort for passengers, particularly those trying to work while traveling. With EV manufacturers seeking to differentiate their vehicles through advanced features, ClearMotion’s suspension technology is expected to have a significant impact on passenger experience and comfort. The ET9 luxury sedan is scheduled for production by late 2024, with a projected production volume of 750,000 cars over its lifespan. The collaboration between ClearMotion and Nio underscores the growing importance of advanced suspension systems in the EV industry and signifies the companies’ commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology to customers worldwide.
