TRW has successfully integrated several technologies to improve vehicle performance, especially in the areas of vehicle dynamics and safety:

Electronic Stability Control

Based on a common computer model, ESC calculates the safety relevant roll moment distribution and delta-steering angle to ensure optimum driving and vehicle stability. At the same time, the ESC intervention can be delayed, its occurrence reduced and its pressure decreased.

Active Dynamic Control

ADC is a family of advanced suspension systems designed to enhance ride, comfort, agility and safety across a broad range of vehicle platforms.

Depending on the vehicle state, hydraulic pressure is controlled in order to improve the body roll angle of the vehicle while improving comfort. Hydraulic power is supplied by TRW´s latest generation Motor Pump Unit. The MPU can be powered independently of the combustion engine, reducing pressure loss and delivering fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions.

Active Control Retractor

TRW´s second-generation reversible seatbelt pretensioning system, the ACR2 has enhanced functionality. The situation management is integrated within the ESC ECU hardware and software.
