For more information on what our capabilities are, please see the sections below.

AIR SUSPENSION SOLUTIONS:

With our new patented solenoid valve designs and engineering expertise, Norgren GVT is well placed to support vehicle manufacturers wishing to add the option of air suspension, and its promise of increased rider safety and comfort as well as increased stability control for off-road performance. Regardless of whether you need single components or a complete system, we can work with you in developing a solution for managing rear levelling to adjusting and controlling the ride height of the vehicle, as well as designing a dynamic system that can take into account road condition, speed and vibration levels.

Full Air Suspension:

Norgren GVT offers a block integrating their patented Solenoid Valve technology to provide a low power, low leak rate, and high flow solution. This block offers the control cabability required of a full 4-corner air suspension system in a package that is 30% smaller and lighter than similar solutions by other manufacturers.

Rear Levelling, Ride Height:

A smaller version of the Full Air Suspension technology mentioned above is also available to provide real levelling for light trucks and estate cars / station wagons.

X Link (Cross Link):

The addition of Norgren GVT's patented High Flow Balanced Valve technology provides the Air Suspension Module with full off-road capability, allowing for extremes of high-speed articulation which is expected under the most demanding circumstances.

 Success Stories:

TIRE INFLATION SYSTEMS:

Improving fuel efficiency as well as improving the lifespan of tires, which will in turn reduce total operating costs for the owner, are becoming ever more critical factors in the success of a vehicle. Systems that can monitor, inflate and deflate the vehicles tires as well as provide real-time control are becoming a more attractive option when air is available On-Board not only for commercial and passenger vehicles, but also for military vehicles.

 

Norgren GVT, while working directly with major manufacturers, has developed both the Wheel Valve and the Control Valve Module which will provide the functionality required in a package which is light weight and has minimal leakage. Regardless of whether you require simple components for your system or a partner to work with in designing a customized and fully integrated system, we can provide the expertise needed.

BONNET RELEASE SYSTEMS:

Designed specifically to meet European Pedestrian Impact legislation, Norgren GVT, while working closely together with system integrators, has developed a compact and low cost hood (bonnet) release system.

ENGINE MOUNT SOLUTIONS:

Using Norgren GVT's TiO Valve Technology, Norgren has developed a compact and lightweight valve for controlling the engine mounts on light vehicles. By having the correct setting on the engine mount, noise and vibration will be prevented from being transmitted through the vehicle.

ALTERNATIVE FUELS:

Alternative fuels are becoming increasingly important in fullfilling the current and future emissions regulations. With a range of medium and high pressure solutions for a range of fluids, Norgren GVT is well positioned to create advantages in various technologies.

FITTINGS:

Norgren GVT has developed a Push-to-Connect fitting specifically for the Light Vehicle market. This unique fitting addresses the requirements for applications which require extremely low leakage. The Push-to-Connect technology allows for an easy and quick installation with no special tools required. The tube can also be released from the fitting by hand, and if required re-installed by hand.
