Abstract

An installation for damping periodically alternating longitudinal accelerations of a motor vehicle, which are also designated as jerking movements and which occur, above all, in motor vehicles whose internal combustion engines are equipped with electronic fuel injection systems and have a high torque already in the lower rotational speed so that they react very rapidly and sensitively to movements of the gas pedal; the jerking oscillations are thereby damped by the installation of electric and/or hydraulic damping devices into the control system for the fuel-, respectively, mixture-admixing installation.
