A vehicle may include a CVT unit or a power source which requires ambient air. An air inlet for an air intake system coupled to the CVT unit or the power source which requires ambient air may be provided in a side of a cargo carrying portion of the vehicle. The vehicle may include a rear radius arm suspension.

Provided are a vehicle control apparatus and a vehicle control method, a vehicle control apparatus including: a sensor configured to sense at least one of a vehicle speed value and a lateral acceleration value of a vehicle; an active camber device including a knuckle for supporting a wheel of the vehicle, an upper arm having one end rotatably connected to the knuckle to form a stroke node, and a actuator for rotationally shifting the stroke node of the upper arm with respect to a connection point with the knuckle in a vertical direction; and a controller configured to vary a position of the stoke node of the upper arm through the actuator on the basis of one of the sensed vehicle speed value and the sensed lateral acceleration value.

A rear suspension for a three-wheeled reverse trike includes a front lever arm pivotably affixed to a frame pivotable about a front lever arm pivot axis. A slider is translatably attached to the front lever arm. A first pushrod is pivotably connected at a first end to the slider and pivotably connected at a second end to at least one of a front upper or lower control arms for the front wheels. A rear lever arm is pivotably affixed to the frame and pivotable about a rear lever arm pivot axis, the rear lever arm extending to a rear lever arm distal end. A rod pivotably connects the front and lever arms. A first pivotable end of the rear upper control arm is pivotably connected to the rear lever arm distal end, and a second pivotable end of the rear upper control arm is pivotably connected to a rear spindle.

A suspension apparatus includes a main body; a first arm configured to support a wheel with respect to the main body; a second arm spaced apart from the first arm and including a guide rail; a shock absorber disposed between the second arm and the main body; a first support member disposed on one side of the shock absorber and rotatably connected to the main body; a second support member disposed on another side of the shock absorber and seated on the guide rail; and a height of the main body is adjusted by movement of the second support member along the guide rail.

A wheel suspension includes an axle limb which supports a wheel. The axle limb includes a first steering axle which provides a first steering angle in a specified range for the wheel, and components for connecting the axle limb to a support structure. At least one of the components includes a second steering axle which provides a second steering angle which is different than the first steering angle provided by the first steering axle. The second steering axle is selectively releasable. The components for connecting the axle limb to the support structure form a double transverse link axle which includes an upper traverse link and a lower traverse link. A support tube is arranged at a chassis-side end portion of each of the upper traverse link and the lower traverse link of the double transverse link axle. The support tube is pivotable about the second steering axle.

A vehicle includes a front wheel, a front wheel mounting portion, a vehicle body, and a roll mechanism. The wheels are disposed in a pair of the left and right and rotatable about the steering shaft as a rotation center. The portion is disposed in a pair of left and right, and the wheel rotatably mounted and includes a suspension. The body includes a seat on which an occupant sits. The mechanism connects the body and the portion. In the upright state, the roll axis of the mechanism is located at a position higher than the vehicle center of gravity when the occupant is not riding. When the body receives a centrifugal force at the time of turning, only the body among the body and the wheel rolls around the roll axis as the rotation center, whereby the body is inclined inward in the turning direction.

Integrated multiple actuator electro-hydraulic systems as well as their methods of use are described. Depending on the particular application, the integrated electro-hydraulic systems may exhibit different frequency responses and/or may be integrated into a single combined unit.

There is described a wheel axle for an agricultural vehicle such as a combine harvester. The wheel axle has at least one wheel suspension (32a) arranged to maintain a wheel axle parallel to the supporting surface, through use of a linkage arrangement (36, 38, 40) which is pivotally coupled to the axle frame (30). The configuration of the wheel suspension allows for the wheel axis to passively follow the surface profile, as any loads transmitted through the wheel carrier act to level out the wheel suspension to align with the underlying surface. As the wheel axle is adjusted to lie parallel with the underlying surface, accordingly the ground-contacting surface area of the associated wheels is maximised.

Electromechanical apparatuses for controlling vehicle suspension settings. Described herein are electromechanical apparatuses for controlling wheel alignment (e.g., camber, castor and/or toe). In particular, described herein are camber adjusting apparatuses for electromechanically adjusting camber or camber and toe that may be retrofitted onto existing vehicle suspensions.

A supplemental turning function-equipped hub unit includes: a hub unit body including a hub bearing; and a unit support member configured to be mounted through a suspension device, the unit support member supporting the hub unit body through rotation-permitting support components at two upper and lower portions of the hub unit body such that the hub unit body is rotatable about a supplemental turning axis. A supplemental turning force receiving part is provided on a side part of the hub unit body, which part is configured to receive a force that causes the hub unit body to rotate about the supplemental turning axis.
