Here we publish articles on chassis optimisation for commercial vehicles. We explore technical issues and showcase new products from Marquart Germany. We report on unusual vehicles and interview long-distance travellers who use Marquart shock absorbers. In short: everything to do with our profession and our day-to-day work in the field of chassis optimisation for commercial vehicles.

Carmen La Tanik tours, performs and puts on her shows in her purple 7.5-tonne camper van on its truck-stage, presenting a wild mix of visual theatre and autobiographical comedy.

Many Sprinter drivers complain of unstable handling and a body that rolls. This can be a particular problem when cornering or driving over uneven surfaces. The vehicle feels spongy. Our innovative coilover solution makes it possible to tackle these issues.
Tanja and Denis Katzer have been travelling together for over 35 years – across almost every continent. Initially by public transport, bicycle and on camels; since 2018, in an Iveco Daily 4x4 expedition vehicle. This was fitted with Marquart shock absorbers. Denis explains what was important to them in this regard.
