Abstract:
A vehicle comprising:a suspended running chassis defining thereon a longitudinal and vertical plane forming a reference, the running direction of the vehicle being parallel to said longitudinal plane,at least two wheel connecting systems, each comprising a wheel, said wheel connecting systems being mounted on said chassis on either side of the latter in the transverse direction, each of the wheel connecting systems comprising a wheel mounted on a support for rectilinear movement relative to the supportwherein each support is mounted on said chassis by means of a camber mechanism comprising an arm mounted on the support on an axis of support oriented substantially parallel to said longitudinal plane, and wherein said camber mechanism comprises a rod displaceable transversely relative to said arm in order to vary the camber angle of the wheel, by an inclination of the plane of the wheel relative to said longitudinal plane, and thus inclining the wheel relative to the ground in the same direction, and wherein the arm is mounted on the chassis by means of a horizontal suspension device allowing the support to move parallel to the running direction.
