Abstract
A vehicle suspension arrangement includes at least three wheels and each of the at least three wheels are independently supported to a chassis of a vehicle with a separate suspension support. The suspension is configured to define a wheel suspension trajectory along which the wheel is arranged to move in the suspended manner in relation to the chassis. The wheel suspension trajectory is configured to extend transversely to the vertical direction in a basic support position of the vehicle in which the vehicle is supported on a surface extending perpendicularly to the vertical direction.
Claims19
A vehicle suspension arrangement, comprising at least three wheels and each of the at least three wheels are independently supported to a chassis of a vehicle with a separate suspension support, the suspension support comprises a strut connected between the wheel and the chassis of the vehicle for supporting the wheel in a suspended manner to the chassis, and the suspension support being configured to define a wheel suspension trajectory along which the wheel is arranged to move in the suspended manner in relation to the chassis, the wheel suspension trajectory defined by the suspension support is configured to extend transversely to the vertical direction in a basic support position of the vehicle in which the vehicle is supported on a surface extending perpendicularly to the vertical direction, wherein
- the vehicle suspension arrangement comprises at least three wheels arranged successively,
- the at least three wheels are provided with electric motors, and
- the wheel suspension trajectory defined by the suspension support is configured to have a trajectory angle between 15 to 80 degrees in relation to the vertical direction in the basic support position of the vehicle in which the vehicle is support on the surface extending perpendicularly to the vertical direction.
An electric vehicle comprising:
- a chassis
- a suspension arrangement, comprising:
- at least three wheels, and
- a separate suspension support for each of the at least three wheels each of the wheels being independently supported to the chassis of the electric vehicle with the suspension support in a suspended manner, the suspension support being configured to define a wheel suspension trajectory along which the wheel is arranged to move in the suspended manner in relation to the chassis;
- and
- an electric motor operatively connected to at least one of the three wheels, wherein
- the wheel suspension trajectory defined by suspension support is configured to extend transversely to the vertical direction in a basic support position of the vehicle in which the vehicle is supported on a surface extending perpendicularly to the vertical direction,
- the suspension arrangement comprises at least three wheels arranged successively,
- a separate electric motor operatively connected to each of the at least three wheels (14) for providing driving power, and
- the wheel suspension trajectory defined by the suspension support is configured to have a trajectory angle between 15 to 80 degrees in relation to the vertical direction in the basic support position of the vehicle in which the vehicle is support on the surface extending perpendicularly to the vertical direction.
