Abstract

A leaf spring suspension has been widely used since it can carry big load and its simplicity. But one major drawback is the poor ride performance because of the friction in the system and the high stiffness coefficient. To overcome these, an air spring suspension can be used. The air spring suspension system can improve the ride of the heavy vehicle significantly and also it can adjust the height to the loading and unloading. The road tests for the truck with the leaf spring suspension and air spring suspension are performed to compare the ride quality of the two systems. To develop the air spring suspension system tailored to the target truck, chassis development procedure using CAE has been applied.
