Abstract: A shock absorber arrangement configured for connecting a frame to wheel axle of vehicle, comprising cylindrical sleeve having an axis; base wall fixedly and sealingly mounted at one end of sleeve; and rod coaxially received in sleeve and equipped with piston sealingly mounted on the sleeve, the piston being capable of moving axially with respect to the base wall; wherein the sleeve, the base wall and piston form chamber having variable axial length and containing working fluid. The shock absorber arrangement further comprises ionic electroactive polymer (EAP) sensor which comprises first electrode including an electrically conductive polymer, attached to both the base wall and the piston; and second electrode including electrically conductive material, attached to both the base wall and the piston; ionic medium arranged at least between said electrodes; so that movement of the piston causes stretching or compression of first electrode, thereby inducing voltage between the electrodes.

Abstract: Vehicle comprising a cab defining a driver compartment by a windshield, a wiping arrangement configured to wipe the windshield over a wiping area, the wiping arrangement comprising at least one wiper including a support movably mounted on the cab and a blade mounted on the support to contact the windshield along a contact length, wherein the wiping arrangement includes an urging system configured to urge the blade against the windshield, and wherein the urging system is configured to apply a pressure on the blade along the contact length by a pressurized fluid.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a wiper system (100) for a vehicle windshield (102), the wiper system comprising a first wiper arm (104) and a second wiper arm (106), the first and second wiper arms being movable in at least a vertical direction (200); and a horizontal wiper arrangement (300) comprising a wiper blade (302) arranged to wipe the surface of the vehicle windshield, the horizontal wiper arrangement (300) further comprising a horizontally extending wiper guide element (304) connected to the wiper blade for arranging the wiper blade to extend between vertical end sides (502, 504) of the vehicle windshield, the first (104) and second (106) wiper arms being connected to the horizontally extending wiper guide element (304) for vertically moving the horizontal wiper arrangement (300) between a vertically lower position (602) of the vehicle windshield and a vertically higher position (604) of the vehicle windshield; wherein the wiper system (100) further comprises a plurality of spring elements (700) c
