A dumping vehicle includes a vehicle elevation system for elevating a body of a vehicle. The system can use one or more components of a vehicle as a main support against which a vehicle body is elevated. In certain examples, a suspension device of the vehicle can be used as the main support. The system further includes an elevation device arranged between the suspension device and a vehicle frame and configured to elevate the vehicle body by lifting the vehicle frame against the suspension device.

A bracket apparatus for a composite spring, may include a lower bracket disposed to come into contact with a composite spring when a U-bolt is fastened to a nut; an upper bracket disposed above the lower bracket so as not to be decoupled therefrom by the nut; and an elastic member disposed between the lower bracket and the upper bracket to provide a force such that the lower and upper brackets move away from each other.

A vehicle wheel suspension including a spring unit suspending a vehicle wheel on a vehicle body. The spring unit including a leaf spring portion extending along a Y-axis. The spring unit including a wheel carrier portion receiving a vehicle wheel. The wheel carrier portion at an end or outboard side of the leaf spring portion. The wheel carrier portion extending transversely to the leaf spring portion.

An axle arrangement for a motor vehicle includes two opposite wheel carriers which are connectable to a bodywork of the motor vehicle via links, and a transverse leaf spring which is connected to the two wheel carriers. The transverse leaf spring is manufactured as one piece from fiber-reinforced plastic, has at least two bands spaced apart from one another and is at least partially integrated in a shear field. The shear field extends between the two wheel carriers and on both sides is connected fixedly to the body or the bodywork of the vehicle and projects beyond the transverse leaf spring, as viewed in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

An independent rear suspension of a motor vehicle with an electrical drivetrain. The independent rear suspension including a left semi-trailing arm and a right semi-trailing arm, each of which can be articulated with an end on the body side to a chassis of the motor vehicle and are fixedly connectable to a wheel carrier on an end on the wheel carrier side, and also a transverse leaf spring for the suspension of the rear wheels. The transverse leaf spring is attached on the end side to the ends of the semi-trailing arms on the wheel carrier side, so that between the semi-trailing arms and the transverse leaf spring is formed an open installation space for receiving at least part of the electrical drivetrain.
