Laterally tiltable multitrack vehicle

Abstract

A laterally tiltable, multitrack vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle includes a vehicle body and at least three wheels, first and second wheels of the three wheels being assigned to a common axle to form a first wheel pair. The vehicle includes at least one wheel control part suspending each of the first and second wheels of the wheel pair from the vehicle body. At least one resilient element supports each wheel control part on the vehicle body. The resilient element has a non-linear spring characteristic with a spring rate which increases in a compression direction and decreases in a rebound direction. The vehicle may be a motor vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to laterally tiltable multi-track vehicles, in particular motor vehicles. Background technique [0002] In recent years, due to the diversity of vehicles operating in cities and related problems such as traffic congestion or environmental pollution, interest in innovative designs of vehicles has gradually grown. In order to make it possible, for example, to solve parking problems or to improve traffic flow by sharing lanes or parking spaces with several vehicles, vehicles of this type will be small, especially narrow. This type of vehicle is usually sized to transport one to two people. This therefore still enables individual mobility. Furthermore, said small size and low weight of the vehicle make it possible to reduce the output power of the engine and the emissions caused by the vehicle without any loss of drivability. Many attempts have been made in recent years to develop multi-track, laterally tiltable vehicles in which t...

Problems solved by technology

However, the preferred solution is usually that all wheels can be tilted together with the body, since this solution requires less installation space relative to the width of the vehicle and thus the overall design of the vehicle is narrow
