VB-Airsuspension to supply full air suspension system on the rear axle for the Ford E-Transit

VBA-DHL

Recently, Ford and Deutsche Post DHL Group entered into an agreement by which Ford will supply more than 2,000 Ford E-Transits to DHL globally. We worked with Ford to develop a full air suspension system for the E-Transit.
DHL had a specific requirement to be able to raise and lower the rear of the vehicle in order to set the cargo space to the correct height to facilitate loading and unloading at loading docks.

Following a successful development and test phase, and positive feedback from Deutsche Post DHL Group, all Ford E-Transits are set to be supplied with a full air suspension system fitted on the rear axle. Alongside the benefits of being able to raise and lower the rear of the vehicle, the vehicles now remain at the same ride height at all times, while the driving dynamics of the vehicles have also been improved.

VB-Airsuspension takes great pride in this collaboration with Ford and Deutsche Post DHL Group. It is our hope that, in doing so, we can play our part in helping both Ford and DHL to achieve their electrification goals.

Return of the international aftersales meeting this year!

In addition to our annual international sales meeting, we are delighted to report that, as of 2023, the international aftersales meeting has become another fixture in the calendar!

We have updated our brochures!

We're already through October and the end of the year is in sight. Before you know it, we'll be settling in for those chilly evenings again: lighting the stove, putting our feet up and getting the tablet out while relaxing on the sofa.

We were keen to celebrate a special moment with Martin!

Today, 20 October, was officially our colleague Martin Uffink's last day of work and marked the start of his retirement. He chose not to work up to the very last minute: with some hours saved up and annual leave owed, his last day at VB-Airsuspension was actually back in August –on Thursday 22nd, to be precise.
