    Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis, a suspension system, and a steering system operably coupled to the chassis and to the suspension. The chassis includes a mounting member that has a first elongated slot. The suspension system includes a beam that is pivotally coupled to the mounting member. The steering system includes a first axle, a second axle, a tie bar that extends between first and second tie bar ends, and a slider. The first and second axles are pivotally coupled with respect to the beam. The tie bar is operably coupled to the first and second axles and includes a second elongated slot that is configured to overlie the first elongated slot. The slider is positioned in the first and second elongated slots, and is configured to move in the first and second elongated slots to select a ratio of the tilting of the mounting member to the steering of the first and second axles.

    Abstract: An electric motor 10 and a reduction gear mechanism 11 are connected to each other by a flexible coupling 12, such as an Oldham's coupling, which is a power transmission mechanism. Also, a casing 11c of the reduction gear mechanism 11 is integrally structured together with a knuckle 5, which is an unsprung part of a vehicle, or mounted to the knuckle 5. Further, a motor case 10a of the electric motor 10 is mounted to a motor mounting member 4m provided on the lower part of a strut 4 for suspending the knuckle 5 through the medium of a shock absorbing mechanism 20 equipped with a spring member 21, a damper, and two guide members 23 for guiding the operating direction of the spring member 21 and the damper. An in-wheel motor system thus structured allows the mass of the motor 10 to act as the mass of a dynamic damper and thus features not only improved ground contact performance and riding comfort of a vehicle running on a rough road but also superior space efficiency.

    Abstract: Disclosed a suspension assembly for a rear two-axle road vehicle is in which a first stabilizer 42 for a driving axle 5 of the rear two-axle set is made less in stiffness than a second stabilizer 52 for a driven axle 6. Even if the vehicle runs onto a curbstone on only one-side rear wheels on the driving axle, the vehicle may steadily get away from the curbstone. The first stabilizer 42 for axle housing 13 supporting the driving axle 5 for rotation is designed so as to have stiffness less than that of the second stabilizer 52 for the axle housing 14 supporting the non-driving axle 6. The stiffness in the stabilizers may be varied, for example, by changing diameters of torsion-bar sections 43 mounted in the axle housings 13, 14 for rotating movement. Even under the road-handling condition where the vehicle runs onto the curbstone on only one side driving wheels on the driving axle 5, the other side driving wheels may be kept in firm engagement with the earth because the first stabilizer 42 is less in twisting moment.

    Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle which can be driven in at least two drive modes which differ from one another as to whether or not at least one wheel of the motor vehicle is driven is designed to increase the safety in the driving behavior when the drive mode changes, by adjusting a previously defined value which is assigned to the current drive mode for a variable that is related to a chassis device of the motor vehicle.
