    摘要: A camber angle applying device is controlled to adjust the camber angle of wheels to a predetermined value. Therefore, the characteristics (or a high gripping property) of a high gripping force and the characteristic (or a low rolling resistance) of a small rolling resistance can be separately used as the performance of the wheels. By utilizing the high gripping property of the wheels, therefore, a vehicle is enabled to reduce its energy consumption, while retaining its running characteristics (such as a turning performance, an accelerating performance or a braking performance), by utilizing the rolling resistance of the wheels. Moreover, the camber angle applying device is controlled to reduce the rolling resistance of the wheels, so that the energy loss to occur in the wheels during running can be reduced to further reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle.

    摘要: A control device corrects the alignment of wheels of a vehicle during travel to improve fuel consumption performance. Operating conditions of a suspension device (alignment adjustment device) are controlled by alignment control while the vehicle is traveling, and when the alignment of the wheels is adjusted, travel resistance of the vehicle increases or decreases. The control device detects the travel resistance of the vehicle based on the value of an electric current supplied to a wheel drive device (electric motor), and the alignment of the wheels is adjusted so that the travel resistance of the vehicle decreases. As a result, the alignment of the wheels during travel is adjusted to a correct state to improve fuel consumption performance.

    摘要: A vehicle capable of stably turning by improving turning performance and that is able to ensure comfort by reducing a burden on a driver is provided.A link mechanism is bent and stretched to incline both left and right wheels to the inside during a turn to generate camber thrust by side force and, as a result, turning force is increased. Further, when the link mechanism is bent and stretched, a coupling link is inclined and a passenger section is inclined, thus making it possible to move the center of gravity of the vehicle toward an inner wheel during a turn. By so doing, lift of the inner wheel during a turn is prevented to make it possible to improve turning performance. In addition, since the passenger section is inclined to the inner wheel side during a turn, it is possible to make a passenger experience less centrifugal force.
