Magveh is developing Suspension Energy Recovery System(SERS) technology for automotive shock absorber, that can harness energy from them while providing better ride comfort and handling than regular damper. Shock absorber is a critical vehicle system, which isolates vibrations from road from the passenger cabin - to provide comfortable ride. Traditional shock absorber release energy from road vibrations as heat to achieve this, and hence this energy gets wasted. SERS is a patented technology that utilizes energy from these vibrations, by converting it into electricity. This is done by integrating an efficient and cost-effective power generator to the shock absorber. The generated electricity is stored in batteries for later use. An improvement of 5-10% in overall efficiency of Electric Vehicles can be achieved by SERS, enabling better range and lesser charging stops.
