CONTECHS engineering team has experience in the development of the ride and handling characteristics on high-volume town cars through to specialist high-performance vehicles and off-road vehicles for sports and utility use. A typical development process is shown below:

Phase 01

	Competitor vehicle performance appraisals.
	Ride and handling target setting including hardpoint proposal.
	Image and base target vehicle selection

Phase 02

	Mule vehicle construction and hardpoint correlation/refinement.
	Mule vehicle ride and handling development.
	Kinematics and compliance characteristics development.
	Half/full vehicle dynamic modelling.
	Preliminary spring and damper tune.

Phase 03

	Prototype vehicle test and development.
	Spring, damper, ARB, and bush development and tune.
