Abstract
The invention relates to an articulated vehicle with a joint between the vehicle parts. The joint includes two joint segments that are rotatable relative to each other. The joint comprises a damping device, wherein the damping device is configured in such a manner that in any angular position of the joint segments the damping torque acting on the joint is substantially the same in a positive as well as in a negative direction of rotation at the moment of a reversal of the direction of rotation.

A joint for an articulated vehicle having vehicle parts with the joint between the vehicle parts, the joint comprising:
- two joint segments that are rotatable relative to each other;
- and
- a damping device comprising two piston cylinder dampers, one piston cylinder damper being disposed on each side of the center longitudinal axis of the joint and extending between the two joint segments;
- wherein the damping device is configured such that in any angular position of the joint segments, the damping torque acting on the joint is substantially equal in a positive as well as in a negative direction of rotation at the moment of a reversal of the direction of rotation.
