    摘要: A high-performance sports car having: a chassis; a bottom facing a ground on which the sports car moves; four wheels supported by the chassis; four suspensions, each of which connects a corresponding wheel to the chassis, has a variable geometry, and is equipped with at least one actuator device adapted to modify the geometry of the suspensions; and a body which covers the chassis and is equipped with four wheel arches, each of which surrounds a corresponding wheel at the top. The chassis is provided inferiorly with a plurality of support feet which are adapted to rest on the ground to support the weight of the sports car. The actuator devices are configured to lift, only when the sports car is parked, the wheels upwards with respect to the chassis changing the geometry of the suspensions up to rest on the ground the support feet i.e. until the wheels detach from the ground.

    摘要: A pneumatic windscreen wiper for a transparent element of a vehicle. The pneumatic windscreen wiper has: at least one nozzle, which is arranged at an edge of the transparent element, is oriented towards the transparent element and is capable of emitting a compressed air jet that hits the transparent element to lick the transparent element; a source of compressed air; and a control valve which is interposed between the nozzle and the source of compressed air and is suitable for regulating the flow of compressed air.

    摘要: Method to control active shock absorbers of a road vehicle. Each active shock absorber is part of a suspension connecting a frame to a hub of a wheel and is provided with an actuator. The control method comprises the steps of: determining a longitudinal acceleration and a transverse acceleration of the road vehicle; establishing a desired lowering of a centre of gravity of the road vehicle depending on the longitudinal acceleration and on the transverse acceleration; and controlling the actuator of each active shock absorber so as to obtain the desired lowering of the centre of gravity.

    摘要: A vehicle having: two front wheels; two rear wheels; two electric motors, which are connected to the two wheels of a same axle; and an electronic power converter to control both electric motors. The electronic power converter has: two groups of power modules; at least one capacitor, which is connected in parallel to a DC input; a container, which houses the two groups of power modules and the capacitor and is provided with a cup-shaped body provided with a lower wall; and a cooling system provided with a chamber, which is configured to be flown through by a cooling liquid. The chamber of the cooling system is delimited, on one side, by the lower wall of the cup-shaped body of the container and, on the other side, by a containing wall, which is arranged at a given distance from the lower wall.

    摘要: A cover panel for a cabin of a vehicle and provided with a weakening for the opening of an underlying airbag. The weakening consists of a sequence of not-through incisions which are separated from each other, are arranged along a weakening line, are obtained from an internal surface of the cover panel, and terminate at a non-zero distance from an external surface of the cover panel. In some sections of the weakening line there are first incisions each having a first width while in other sections of the weakening line there are second incisions each having a second width greater than the first width. The weakening line has a plurality of portions that connect to one another in at least one connection area, wherein the corresponding portions of the weakening line consist of the second incisions only while, next to the connection area, the corresponding portions of the weakening line consist of the first incisions only.

    摘要: A method to control a road vehicle with rear steering wheels and having, while driving along a curve, the steps of: determining a desired steering angle for the rear wheels; comparing the desired steering angle with a threshold value; applying, while driving along a curve and if the desired steering angle is greater than the threshold value, to both rear wheels a same actual steering angle that is equal to the desired steering angle; and applying, while driving along a curve and if the desired steering angle is smaller than the threshold value, to a rear wheel on the outside of the curve an actual steering angle greater than the desired steering angle and applying to a rear wheel on the inside of the curve a zero actual steering angle.
