Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 10:
11. An assembly to tilt a target vehicle, the assembly comprising:
a sensor to attach to the target vehicle to measure a parameter relating to dynamics of the target vehicle;
an actuation assembly arranged to adjust a tilt of a tiltable body of the target vehicle relative to a base of the target vehicle, the tilt being in dependence on an output of the sensor, the actuation assembly comprising:
a rotary actuator, the rotary actuator being oriented along a fore-aft direction of the target vehicle,
a pinion driven by the rotary actuator,
a rack, wherein the rack is a toothed belt, the toothed belt being fastened at either end to the base at respective end fixings, and
two idler gears mounted on lateral arms extending from the tiltable body,
wherein the pinion is engaged with the rack, and the rack runs around the two idler gears, such that rotation of the pinion moves the pinion and the two idler gears along the rack, relative to the end fixings,
to tilt the tiltable body; and

a control unit configured to control the actuation assembly to adopt a simulation tilt angle, a magnitude of the simulation tilt angle being dependent on an output of the sensor.
