NZ4WD has featured Torsus offroad buses before. The company makes 4WD go-anywhere transports for the mining industry and to service remote communities in places like Western Australia, eastern Europe, Alaska and Canada.
Now Torsus has announced a partnership with JRZ Suspension Engineering BV, global leaders in off-road suspension and dampers.
The companies have engineered a custom heavy-duty off-road suspension configuration that “delivers unparalleled performance over any terrain”.
Headquartered in the Netherlands, JRZ Suspension Engineering has almost three decades of experience in creating suspension systems for motorsport.
Its products also enhance the ride and handling characteristics of elite sports cars, and enable off-road buggies, heavy-duty vehicles, and armoured cars to master the most unforgiving terrain with impunity.
The company’s ultra-advanced suspension upgrade takes the Terrastorm 4WD all-terrain minibus to new heights of rough terrain crossing performance, ensuring a more comfortable and safer journey, and providing greater freedom of movement for all occupants.
Controlling the unsprung mass is the chief engineering objective. That’s every component unsupported by the vehicle’s suspension: wheels, tyres, springs, shocks, linkages, brakes, and even wheel nuts. Controlling the unsprung mass significantly lessens the suspension system’s workload enhancing its ability to dampen bumps, improving its ability to keep the tyres on the ground, therefore providing superior traction levels.
The Terastorm’s on and off-road handling transformation is made possible by the innovative JRZ Suspension Engineering set-up. Precision CNC-machined components, increased fluid displacement, high flow-rate valves, and nitrogen-charged shock absorbers work in harmony to eliminate wheel hop, provide exceptional handling across all terrain types, boost traction, and elevate comfort levels. The suspension system stabilises body roll.
Whether the customer desires a softer, more comfortable ride or the superior levels of control under braking, accelerating, and turning, the Terrastorm’s heavy-duty off-road suspension reacts swiftly to the driver’s inputs, automatically adjusting damping speed for optimal performance.
