In the presented paper the development of a suspension for electrically driven vehicles is shown. The suspension is developed through the application of a methodical procedure model that was previously developed at the German Aerospace Centre. The process model addresses the altered boundary conditions brought by electrification and the development of road vehicle suspensions suited to the requirements of electro mobility is enabled. One of those suspensions created with the help of the process model is the LEICHT, an innovative suspension for urban vehicles. LEICHT stands for the main characteristics of the in-wheel suspension: Lightweight, Energy-efficient, and Integrative Chassis with Hub-motor Technology
