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.
