Abstract
Each wheel is connected to the body through a hydraulic shock-absorber comprising two chambers of variable volume which communicate by way of a constricted passage. One of the chambers has a wall connected to the unsuspended part of the vehicle so that upward movement of the wheel tends to reduce the volume of this chamber. The motor bears on the body through at least one variable volume enclosure which is filled with an incompressible fluid and is connected by a connecting pipe to said chamber of the shock-absorber whose volume tends to be reduced when the wheel undergoes an upward relative displacement.
