Abstract:
An overland vehicle is provided which includes a chassis with a roll-over protection structure, a powertrain configured to generate power to drive the overland vehicle, a first suspension system configured as a chassis to ground suspension system, and an operator compartment. The vehicle may also include a second suspension system configured to pneumatically suspend the operator compartment within the chassis, where the second suspension system includes a plurality of pneumatic couplers, including at least a first pneumatic coupler suspending the operator compartment to the chassis along a first vector extending in a first direction, and a second countering pneumatic coupler suspending the operator compartment to the chassis along a second vector extending in a second direction, where the second direction is generally opposite the first direction. In another embodiment, the second suspension system may include a plurality of spaced apart pneumatic couplers, including at least a first pneumatic coupler suspending the operator compartment to a first side of the chassis, and a second pneumatic coupler suspending the operator compartment to a second side of the chassis.
