Abstract

The vehicle includes four independent wheels (2-5) each mounted on means (7,9,20,21) connected to suspension arms (6,8,22,23) fixed to the vehicle chassis. Each suspension arm is articulated on the chassis along an arc or pivot axis (11,15,24,25) positioned near the end of the chassis. The suspension arms are connected directly or indirectly to one or more actuation elements (34) that enable simultaneous or independent rotation of the arms w.r.t the articulation axis. Threaded collars (33,38) move along a threaded rod (34) to adjust the position of connecting rods (31,32,36,37) that varies the positions of the wheels.
