Abstract: A road vehicle convoy control method includes applying, on a hinge, a moment, an amplitude of which varies based on measured oscillations to absorb the measured oscillations. The moment is applied on the hinge by controlling an actuator of the hinge and jointly controlling: an electrical machine of a first wheel from a wheel set that belongs to part of a chassis that pivot in relation to another wheel because of the hinge to increase torque of the first wheel; and, simultaneously, an electrical machine of a second wheel from the same wheel set to keep the torque thereof constant or increase the torque of the second wheel less than the torque of the first wheel to apply the moment on the hinge in combination with the actuator.

Abstract: A towable road motor vehicle including: at least three wheels, capable of driving the motor vehicle on a level road, distributed between two front and rear wheel trains of the motor vehicle; a chassis, including an articulation device, interposed between front and rear portions of the chassis and enabling the front portion to pivot, relative to the rear portion, to modify an articulation angle of the vehicle; front and rear hitches, respectively positioned at the front and rear of the motor vehicle, and a steering device, capable of modifying the steering angle of each wheel of the front train in response to a command by a driver of the vehicle, the steering device adapted to be actuated independently of the articulation device.

Abstract: The invention concerns a towable road motor vehicle (20) comprising: —at least three wheels (42, 44), capable of driving the motor vehicle on a level road (22), distributed between two front and rear wheel trains of the motor vehicle; —a chassis, comprising an articulation device, interposed between front and rear portions of the chassis and enabling the front portion to pivot, relative to the rear portion, in such a way as to modify an articulation angle of the vehicle; —front (34) and rear (36) hitches, respectively positioned at the front and rear of the motor vehicle. The motor vehicle further comprises a steering device (32), capable of modifying the steering angle of each wheel of the front train in response to a command by a driver of the vehicle, said steering device being capable of being actuated independently of the articulation device.

Abstract: A three-wheeled vehicle having a chassis with a rear central steered wheel set as its front wheel set, a front right drive wheel, and a front left drive wheel that is independent of the front right drive wheel, the front wheels and the central rear wheel set being arranged in a triangle with a base defined by the front wheels defining the front of the vehicle, and with an apex; a first traction motor driving the front left drive wheel in rotation and a second traction motor driving the front right drive wheel in rotation; a reception floor for receiving users, the floor being supported by the chassis and extending between the front wheels, while opening freely towards the front of the vehicle; bodywork defining, at least over the floor, a cabin that opens to the front between the left and right front wheels; and a door.
