Toyota Active Control Suspension was (according to Toyota) the world's first fully active suspension. [ 1 ] Two versions of Toyota's Active Control Suspension system went into production - the first was a very limited production run from 1990 to 1991 of 300 units of the ST183 Celica , called the Active Sports.

Height adjustable suspension is a feature of certain automobile suspension systems that allow the motorist to vary the ride height or ground clearance. This can be done for various reasons including giving better ground clearance over rough terrain, a lower ground clearance to improve performance and fuel economy at high speed, [1] or for stylistic reasons.
Later models would use electronic height sensors and motors so adjustment could be achieved with the engine off. This system allowed the suspension to achieve an unusually soft ride quality. [7] Since then, millions of fairly inexpensive Citroën cars have been equipped with self-levelling as an unobtrusive, but integral design feature.
An active suspension is a type of automotive suspension that uses an onboard control system to control the vertical movement of the vehicle's wheels and axles relative to the chassis or vehicle frame, rather than the conventional passive suspension that relies solely on large springs to maintain static support and dampen the vertical wheel movements caused by the road surface.
The electric powered active stabilizer suspension was first used on the 2007 Lexus GS. The 2008 Lexus LS 600h was the second vehicle to feature the active stabilizer system. Active Power Stabilizer Suspension System (APSSS) , is an electric active suspension system with active anti-roll bars developed by Toyota Motor Corporation for its high ...

Active Body Control, or ABC, is the Mercedes-Benz brand name used to describe electronically controlled hydropneumatic suspension. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This suspension improves ride quality and allows for control of the vehicle body motions, allowing for reduced body roll in many driving situations including cornering , accelerating , and braking .
Test bench for active vibration control at the Fraunhofer Institute LBF. A piezo driven active engine mount cancels the vibration resulting from several motors on top of the Mount by inducing countervibrations. Active vibration control is the active application of force in an equal and opposite fashion to the forces imposed by external ...
