Passenger cars

Chassis

BOGE Rubber & Plastics is the development partner for individual design solutions tailored to the customer's needs at competitive prices. The economical lightweight design of each rubber mount is achieved by consistently combining BOGE's longstanding expertise in elastomer and plastics across all locations.

In teamwork with our customers and suppliers, we develop comprehensive elastokinematic chassis solutions for the brand-specific driving experience. 

We also offer specific solutions for high axle loads for battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and develop Subframe Mount with axial damping to reduce disturbing vibrations and noise in the passenger compartment.

Powertrain

Due to the global requirement for saving CO2, the market increasingly offers different powertrains in one vehicle platform. Many current concepts include engine downsizing (e.g. fewer cylinders or omission of balance shafts), engines with cylinder shut-off, hybrid engines or electric engines. These modern, very different drive concepts in combination with weight-reduced vehicle structures generate stronger vibration excitations and require existing NVH concepts to be developed further.

With switchable and active mounts with hydraulic damping which automatically adapt their functions to the current driving situation, the customized solutions from BOGE Rubber & Plastics provide an essential contribution to improving the comfort of vehicle passengers.

Resting pole in the Powertrain

Active engine mounts optimally dampen and isolate the oscillations, noise and vibrations generated by the car engine in every operating state of the combustion engine. This noticeably increases the comfort of the vehicle occupants. Apart from the positive effect on the occupants, the active engine mount plays an important role in downsized engines and vehicles with electronic cylinder deactivation, which constantly change their vibration behavior. It makes a significant contribution to making these innovations convenient and marketable.
