Original parts the only way for VB-Airsuspension

VB-Airsuspension original parts

Why should you always use original parts for your VB-Airsuspension? All VB-Airsuspension systems are developed and assembled by an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and ever-growing team in Varsseveld, the Netherlands. All the components that go to make up the (air) suspension system are perfectly attuned to one another. This way, you can be sure the end product fitted at Rosmia precisely matches your needs. Using VB-Airsuspension original parts will ensure that your system performs at its best.

Full air suspension

If you opt for full air suspension (VB-FullAir), the existing leaf or coil spring suspension will be replaced by a full air suspension system. A full air suspension system consists of air springs, shock absorbers, main springs, a compressor and our electronic control unit: the VB-ASCU. All these components are perfectly attuned to one another, all in the service of greater comfort, better stability and improved driving characteristics.

Original parts

Did you know that VB-Airsuspension has developed its own in-house shock absorbers for most of its kits, helping your new (air) suspension system perform at its best? There may be occasions (e.g. during repair work or inspection) where it becomes apparent that the shock absorbers need to be replaced. If the kit came with VB-Airsuspension shock absorbers, it is very important that replacement shock absorbers from VB-Airsuspension should be used. Its full air suspension system has been specifically developed for its original part shock absorbers to work ‘in harmony’ with the air suspension. Non-original part shock absorbers will not work ‘in harmony’ with the air suspension. This can be due to different dimensions and may lead to the system no longer performing at its best. In some cases, non-original shock absorbers can even result in damage to the system.

Servicing

Even though VB-Airsuspension systems are in principle maintenance-free, it’s advised to carry out or arrange for a visual and functional inspection once a year. Rosmia is an accredited VB-Airsuspension partner with many years of experience in fitting and maintaining suspension and air suspension systems and will be able to give you appropriate, individual advice.

Volkswagen AG approves VB Air Suspension for Crafter models

VB Air Suspension approved for Crafter by VW

Volkswagen AG approves VB Air Suspension for Crafter models

VB Air Suspension has announced that it recently received a ‘UBB’ from Volkswagen AG – or Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigung, otherwise known as a LONO (Letter Of No Objection) –

for all its full air suspension systems on the Volkswagen Crafter. This makes VB the first-ever organisation to receive a blanket LONO for all Crafter models.

A ‘UBB’ – or LONO – is literally a ‘statement of no objection’. Volkswagen AG grants this approval to manufacturers that have developed a product that fulfils Volkswagen’s demanding standards and requirements. Before the manufacturer is granted approval for the product, Volkswagen carries out a number of tests, including a dynamic driving test, an ESC test (electronic stability control) and various brake tests. The tests must demonstrate that the product does not have any negative characteristics in the areas of safety and comfort.

The approval demonstrates that VB’s suspension systems are a high-quality product and that Volkswagen has no objection to these air systems being installed on Volkswagen vehicles.

This is yet another reason why Rosmia installs only VB systems. To find out more about fitting VB Air Suspension to your vehicle, contact us.

VB coil spring suspension rosmia

Why VB-CoilSpring

Posted by Mark on
 November 5, 2021

Do you always drive with a heavy load? The heavy load causes the vehicle to sag, which reduces the spring travel and makes the vehicle more likely to bounce when driving over rough surfaces or speed bumps, for example.

vb coil spring suspension - rosmia

Helper and reinforcement springs are suspension systems that support or reinforce the existing suspension system in order to correct suspension problems. Our helper and reinforcement springs – also called VB-CoilSpring – are either fitted to the existing leaf suspension or coil spring suspension, or they replace the original coil spring suspension. Reinforcement springs mainly ensure that the vehicle returns to its original ride height or higher. This increases spring travel and thus improves stability and, to some extent, comfort levels.

VB-CoilSpring is a good option for vehicles that are always (heavily) laden and have to carry variable loads every once in a while. This is because the reinforcement of the spring force is permanent and cannot be adjusted. Both systems are available for both the front and rear axles of certain types of vehicles.

VB full air suspension for wheelchair accessible vehicles

More accessible wheelchair transportation

VB full air suspension for wheelchair accessible vehicles

Wheelchair users want to experience a sense of security, comfort and confidence when they are taken to their destination. Wheelchair transporters, therefore, want to be able to offer tailor-made transport. Ensuring the safety and physical comfort of their passengers is of paramount importance to these carriers. This is what the passenger ultimately considers to be the most important. So what’s better than wheelchair users who choose to travel with you – just because your vehicle has that extra bit of comfort?

The problem facing wheelchair accessible vehicles

No one likes to feel all the road humps and bumps while travelling. Since the weight distribution in a wheelchair-loaded vehicle is usually not optimal, the journey for both the wheelchair user and the driver can become significantly less comfortable. This non-optimal weight distribution also has further adverse effects on ride comfort: the original suspension on the rear of the vehicle can become “stuck” when the weight of the wheelchair cannot be optimally distributed. The vehicle may also normally be too high – or too low – or the vehicle may have a too high approach angle. This would make it even more difficult to optimally assist passengers and would cause even more inconvenience.

How can Rosmia and VB Airsuspension help?

A constant ride height is therefore essential for both the driver and the wheelchair user. This is easily achieved with one of our products. When using our air suspension – and electronic ride height control to achieve a constant ride height – ride comfort increases significantly. This means the passenger feels comfortable and safe, as well as you as a driver. Would you like to know more about the matching products – such as VB-FullAir – for this category of vehicles?
Take a look at the product leaflets here.
