  • Patent number: 12533925
    Abstract: A motor vehicle includes two vehicle wheels, which are arranged on a common vehicle axis, and two single wheel suspension devices of an active chassis, via which the vehicle wheels are each connected to an engine vehicle body. The single wheel suspension devices each have a shock damper, which can be fluidically connected to an engine pump unit to vary the damping behavior. The engine pump unit is arranged in the area of the common vehicle axis. The engine pump unit and a further device arranged in the area of the vehicle axis are arranged off-center in the vehicle transverse direction. The engine pump unit is arranged spaced apart from the further device in the vehicle transverse direction.

  • Patent number: 12397581
    Abstract: A wheel hub for receiving a vehicle wheel, the wheel hub having a central region with a central opening. In order to achieve a reduction of the forces acting on wheel screws, it is provided that (i) the wheel hub includes at least four screw-in openings for screwing in a respective wheel screw; (ii) the wheel hub includes a number of stiffening ribs corresponding to the number of screw-in openings, which ribs extend obliquely or radially outward; (iii) in each case, two circumferentially adjacent stiffening ribs are connected to one another by a linearly extending connecting web, wherein the connecting web between the stiffening ribs has no connection to the central region; and (iv) a screw-in opening is arranged in each connecting web.
