    摘要: An inexpensive, highly maneuverable vehicle (1) is provided for operating within the proximity of landmines. The vehicle (1) is preferably hydrostatically propelled and includes an adjustable hydraulic suspension for providing a varying ground clearance depending on terrain and operation. The vehicle includes 'bendaway' or 'breakaway' wheels (25) and a smooth underside. The hydrostatic drive system and bendaway or breakaway wheels (25) provide a vehicle (1) which can still maneuver even with one or two wheels (25) disengaged due to removal upon striking a landmine. In a preferred embodiment, the vehicle (1) is constructed to operate as a battlefield ambulance. The vehicle (1) includes a portal (49) formed on the vehicle's underside (16) for permitting the retrieval of injured persons to within the vehicle (1) without subjecting occupants within the vehicle (1) to be vulnerable to hostile fire.

    摘要: A vehicle suspension system has fluid cylinders (3) connected between the vehicle body (1) and the respective wheels (2). A fluid control system controls feed and discharge of hydraulic fluid to and from the fluid cylinders (31) and changes the suspension properties of the suspension system. A failure in the fluid control system is detected and when the control system fails, one of first to third measure modes is taken on the basis of the kind of the failure. Warning is just given and the control of feed and discharge of hydraulic fluid to and from the fluid cylinders being continued when the first measure mode is taken, the control of feed and discharge of hydraulic fluid to and from the fluid cylinders is interrupted with the chassis height fixed to the present height when the second measure mode is taken, and the fluid in the fluid cylinders is discharged and the chassis height is lowered when the third measure mode is taken.
