Multiple-drive vehicle
A multiple-drive vehicle comprises a first driving position (3) for a first driver provided with first driving means (4), a second driving position (5) for a second driver provided with second driving means (6), a first pair of wheels (9) mechanically connected to the first driving means (4) and a second pair of wheels (10) mechanically connected to the second driving means (6). The first driving means (5) and the second driving means (6) are independent of each other for moving the respective pairs of wheels (9, 10) in an independent manner from each other.
Control system for a grading machine
A grading machine includes a machine body, a grading blade, and at least one grading blade sensor configured to sense a position and orientation of the grading blade. The grading machine also includes a drawbar connecting the grading blade to the machine body, at least one drawbar sensor configured to sense a position and orientation of the drawbar, a user interface, and a control system. The control system may be configured to receive an input from the user interface and perform an automatic turnaround operation.

CHASSIS FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE WITH VARIABLY ADJUSTABLE RIDE HEIGHT
A chassis for use in a motor vehicle with variably adjustable drive height includes a subframe assembly for fastening wheel suspensions of the motor vehicle, and a plurality of control arms for guiding a wheel carrier. The control arms are fastened to the subframe assembly via control arm attachment points. A plurality of eccentric adjustment devices are provided for adjusting the toe-in and the basic camber of the motor vehicle. An insert element is provided for receiving an eccentric adjustment device. The insert element is arranged within the chassis in such a way that the position of at least one eccentric adjustment device can be varied by varying the arrangement of the insert element within the chassis.
Suspension Structure of Vehicle for Skateboard Platform
An embodiment suspension structure includes a rail housing configured to be installed in a vehicle body along a height direction of the vehicle body, a rail attached to the rail housing toward an outer side of the vehicle body, a plurality of variable position links configured to be moved in the height direction of the vehicle body by engaging with the rail, a link transfer screw threaded to the plurality of variable position links and disposed in parallel with the rail to allow the plurality of variable position links to move by rotation, and a screw motor fixed to an upper inner side of the rail housing and coupled to one end of the link transfer screw, the screw motor being configured to provide a driving force to rotate the link transfer screw.

Adjustable steering stop
An adjustable steering stop for an axle assembly of a vehicle includes a housing configured to be coupled to a steering knuckle or a frame of the axle assembly, a shaft received within the housing and movable relative thereto, the shaft being configured to engage a stop to limit movement of the steering knuckle relative to the frame, and a locking assembly coupled to the housing and reconfigurable between (a) an engaged configuration in which the locking assembly limits movement of the shaft relative to the housing and (b) a disengaged configuration in which the locking assembly permits the shaft to move relative to the housing. The locking assembly includes an actuator configured to reconfigure the locking assembly between the engaged and disengaged configurations. A controller is configured to control the actuator to reconfigure the locking assembly between the engaged configuration and the disengaged configuration.
