Abstract: A vehicle has a wheeled chassis and a body movably mounted thereon, the body being able to carry goods and/or passengers. An accelerometer detects forces acting on the vehicle as the vehicle passes through a curve and is arranged to activate a vehicle body tilting and lateral displacing system. A first power mechanism tilts the body relative to the chassis toward the center of the curve. A second power mechanism laterally shifts the body relative to the chasis by applying lateral forces that are independent of the tilting forces. The lateral movement can be either toward or away from the center of the curve.
