Journey beyond

Born out of MIT, we’re pioneering a completely new approach to motion control – one that doesn’t simply improve the ride but instead revolutionizes it. For today, for tomorrow, for everyone.

Our mission goes beyond comfort, beyond convention, beyond what’s been done before. From our earliest breakthroughs to our latest production milestones, everything we do is shaped by the values that drive us – and the bold path we’ve taken to get here.

Key milestones

2012
ClearMotion is born

With a bold vision formed in an MIT classroom, Zack Anderson and Shak Avadhany set out to create the first scalable, high bandwidth active suspension system for the automotive industry.

Building future foundations

Endless late nights and caffeine-fueled mornings result in the development of our CM1 fully active suspension system. Extensive testing and a workable proof of concept soon follow.

2017
Accelerating growth

We acquire Bose’s SoundActive™ suspension business, establishing ClearMotion as a serious technological player in the automotive suspension marketplace.

2017 – 2019
Refine, refine, refine

Multiple demonstrator vehicles are built to validate OEM ride and handling attribute targets, with every piece of feedback used to fine-tune the systems and ready them for use in the real world.

2019
Assembling a team of experts

Alongside top minds from across the world of automotive, Christian Steinmann (ex-Continental) joins as CEO to lead us through our next phase of growth.
