Automotive air suspension is a type of vehicle suspension powered by an electric or engine-driven air pump or compressor. This compressor pumps air into flexible bellows, typically made from textile-reinforced rubber. The air suspension systems provide a variable ride height and adjustable firmness to enhance vehicle performance and comfort.
