Abstract: A suspension assembly for a commercial vehicle includes a first linkage, an air spring, a carriage, and a second linkage. The first linkage is pivotally coupled at a first end with a structural member of a frame. The structural member extends downwards from the frame. The air spring is coupled with the frame and a second end of the first linkage. The air spring drives the first linkage to pivot about the first end relative to the structural member. The carriage is pivotally coupled with the first linkage at a position between the first end and the second end of the first linkage. The second linkage is pivotally coupled at a first end with the structural member, and pivotally coupled with the carriage at a second end. The structural member, the first linkage, the second linkage, and the carriage define a four-bar linkage.

Abstract: A suspension assembly for an electrified vehicle includes a first linkage rod coupled to a first bracket and a second linkage rod coupled to a second bracket. The electrified vehicle includes a chassis and an axle assembly. The chassis includes a first frame rail and a second frame rail laterally separated from the first frame rail. The axle assembly includes an axle housing arranged laterally between the first frame rail and the second frame rail. The first linkage rod is arranged at an angle relative to a central longitudinal axis so that as the first linkage rod extends from the axle housing toward the first bracket, the first linkage rod angles laterally outwardly and away from the central longitudinal axis. The second linkage rod is arranged at an angle relative to the central longitudinal axis so that as the second linkage rod extends from the axle housing toward the second bracket, the second linkage rod angles laterally outwardly and away from the central longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis defining a longitudinal centerline, a first axle and a second axle coupled to the chassis, a cab, a door, and a driver's seat. The cab is coupled to the chassis and defines a door opening. The cab includes (a) a windshield assembly comprising a first side portion, a middle portion, a second side portion, a first pillar coupling the first side portion to the middle portion, a second pillar coupling the second side portion to the middle portion, (b) an A-pillar defining a front edge of the door opening, and (c) a B-pillar defining a rear edge of the door opening. The door is movably coupled to the cab, disposed within the door opening, and selectively repositionable relative thereto independent of the windshield assembly. The driver's seat is disposed within the cab and positioned along the longitudinal centerline.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis having a longitudinal centerline, a first axle and a second axle coupled to the chassis, a cab, a driver's seat, and a passenger seat. The cab is coupled to the chassis and includes a windshield assembly comprising a first side portion, a middle portion, a second side portion, a first pillar coupling the first side portion to the middle portion, and a second pillar coupling the second side portion to the middle portion. The driver's seat is disposed within the cab along the longitudinal centerline, and the passenger seat is disposed within the cab and longitudinally offset from the driver's seat to improve driver visibility.
