Nivomat

Nivomat

Nivomat (a portmanteau of the French niveau and automatique) is the name for a vehicle suspension technology created by Mannesmann-Sachs. Compared to the common use of springs, struts, and shock absorbers in a car suspension, Nivomat replaces all of these components with a single unit per wheel which provides damping, ride control, and a self-levelling function. The Nivomat system uniquely incorporates an internal pump which relies on relative movement between the axle and the chassis to provide the levelling and damping function.
