Abstract

For passenger cars and vans, independent suspension on the front axle is standard, whereas in medium and heavy commercial vehicles, rigid axles with leaf springs or air suspension have so far been favoured for reasons of cost, weight and high loads. In the present project carried out by DaimlerChrysler AG’s Division “Basic Engineering of Commercial Vehicles”, an independent suspension was designed for the first time for a light commercial vehicle of the 7.5 t class, and was integrated and tested in a prototype vehicle. To realise the project simulation tools of IPG Automotive Engineering Software + Conculting GmbH were used.
