A further development of the adaptive damping system continuous damping control from ZF Friedrichshafen AG entered volume production for the first time in the new Honda Civic Tourer. The CDC for both axles which has been successful for years has now been specially adapted by the supplier to meet the requirements of subcompact and compact cars as well as MUVs. “We are very pleased about the world’s first application of the CDC 1XL. Particularly because it takes place at Honda, a large, globally active automotive manufacturer,” says Uwe Coßmann, head, car chassis technology division, ZF. ZF expects an annual production of more than three million CDC units for passenger car applications by 2016.
