and Integrate Systems Under Intensifying Cost & Market Pressure
The European chassis systems landscape is undergoing a significant shift. Economic pressure continues to weigh heavily on OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, slowing traditional innovation cycles and forcing organisations to prioritise cost-driven engineering over exploratory R&D. With industry leaders noting, “the economic pressure is putting a scar in everything”, it is clear that the impact is being felt across every corner of the chassis domain.
At the same time, global competition has intensified, and European OEMs find themselves impressed and challenged by the pace of Chinese advancement. Chinese OEMs and suppliers are entering the market with unprecedented speed, scale, and technological maturity. Their clean-sheet development models, fully automated manufacturing plants, and rapid deployment of active suspension, electromechanical actuation, electromagnetic systems, and true by-wire technologies are redefining expectations for cost, performance, and integration. Meanwhile, geopolitical uncertainty, fluctuating electrification strategies, and tightening budgets are forcing European OEMs to look inward, reassess priorities, and determine which technology pathways truly matter. Integration remains the long-term goal, but progress in the current market is uncertain. Autonomous driving is regaining momentum, legislation continues to evolve, and suppliers are under pressure to differentiate through new functions, ride experiences, and cost structures. Automotive IQ invites you to join your colleagues in Munich for the 18th Annual Chassis Systems Europe 2026 conference. Whether you work in integrated chassis control, vehicle motion control, braking, steering, or suspension, Automotive IQ’s #ChassisSystemsEU26 conference gives you the clarity needed to understand where the market is heading, how competitive dynamics are shifting, and which technologies are advancing across the chassis domain.

Past Attendees Say It Best Here's what past attendees had to say about the Chassis Systems event series
"The [conference] was a fantastic experience, packed with forward-thinking insights and real-world applications. The focus on AI, smart mobility and cybersecurity was especially relevant and I left with valuable takeaways and fresh ideas."
"The Automotive IQ Chassis Systems conference provides a unique and valuable perspective that comes from combining different chassis systems into one conference. The format that featured combined sessions with topics of joint interest across chassis systems, as well as separate, more specialized tracks for each system, was very effective. The organizers did a good job proposing topics that were interesting and relevant and getting strong speakers and panellists to contribute."
"A well-organized conference that presented a futuristic view of new Automotive technologies in for Braking and Chassis and Steer by wire"
"Very informative and fun industry event, great for exchanging market trends and networking"
"The event offered great opportunity to connect with people in the industry to exchange thoughts and/or follow-up on collaboration opportunities. The presentations and exhibitions give good insights in novel technologies and their applications"
"Great event to expand your knowledge of chassis technological advancements beyond your own company and meet your colleagues from other similar companies"
