Available with or without an integrated NeedleCheck™, Multimatic BridgelessHinge™ shuns excess material for mass savings.
In 2004, Ford chose Multimatic to engineer, develop and build the first 'turnkey' race car to be sold through the Ford Racing catalogue. This relationship continues today.
Multimatic's championship-winning DSSV™ damper technology offers a proven competitive advantage over other damper products.
Multimatic In-Wheel suspension eliminates conventional linkages by packaging motion control components within the wheel’s diameter.
With its easy reset feature, the Multimatic resettable pedestrian protection hood hinge system minimizes the consequences of false firings.
Multimatic TailgateAssist™ dramatically reduces opening and closing efforts, along with noise and slam loads. Consumers consistently prefer its feel to other solutions.
Multimatic HighValueCheck™ offers exceptional door control in an affordable, low-mass package.
A load-bearing composite floor pan, co-developed by Multimatic as part of a USCAR R&D program, demonstrated a significant weight saving per vehicle.
