Levant Power, a company from Massachusetts, produces such shock absorbers that are developed by Cambridge. The company claims that their product can lower fuel consumption by 1.5 to 6 percent, depending on the vehicle and driving conditions.

Regenerative suspension systems are yet another approach to this class of mechanisms, continuously recovering the vibrational energy that occurs due to road irregularities, vehicle acceleration and braking.
