A device for temporary accentuation of a storage device that is located in the motor vehicle and is operatively connected to at least one accentuator includes a controller configured to operatively connect, at least temporarily, to the accentuator and to activate the accentuator, change or not change the accentuator during operation, or deactivate the accentuator on a basis of an accentuation signal output by a calculation means, wherein the accentuation signal represents accentuation interest information, and the accentuator, when deactivated, cannot be recognized as such by an observer.

Device and system for the temporary and anticipatory accentuation of at least one storage device located in a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle equipped therewith

A vehicle interior component includes a first surface, a second surface that is adjacent to the first surface, an edge disposed between the first surface and the second surface, and an operating element where an item of operating information can be input by the operating element. The operating element is disposed adjacent to the edge on the first surface and/or on the second surface and the operating element is nonvisible in an inoperative state and is visible in an operative state.

Vehicle interior component having accentuatable operating element and vehicle equipped with same

A method is provided for charging a battery-operated vehicle having a chargeable traction energy store and a system for autonomously guiding the vehicle with a charging vehicle having an energy generator and/or an energy store. The method forms at least one electrical coupling between the battery-operated vehicle and the charging vehicle via an autonomous driving manoeuver of the battery-operated vehicle and/or the charging vehicle. A charging of the traction energy store of the battery-operated vehicle occurs via the energy generator and/or the energy store of the charging vehicle during the driving of the paired battery-operated vehicle and charging vehicle.

Method for charging a battery-operated vehicle

A single-wheel suspension of a non-steerable driven wheel of a two-track vehicle is provided. The suspension includes two longitudinal control arms that pivot in a vertical plane. The first control arm is supported by a vertical pendulum support and supports a wheel bearing. The second control arm is supported with one rotational degree of freedom on the vehicle and is connected to the first control arm with one rotation degree of freedom by a connecting member between the wheel bearing and the pendulum support. At least a section of the first control arm between the wheel bearing and the connecting member is located inside the wheel rim space. A gear mechanism at least partially inside the wheel rim includes two transmission stages laterally offset from one another. The rotational axes of a connection shaft connecting first and second transmission stages and the connection element between the two control arms coincide.

Single wheel suspension of a non-steerable driven wheel of a two track vehicle

A single wheel suspension of a non-steerable wheel of a two track vehicle includes two links pivotable relative to each other in respective planes, each being inclined less than 10&#xb0; relative to the longitudinal and vertical directions of the vehicle. A first link, extending approximately in the longitudinal direction, functions as a wheel carrier. The first link is supported with an end section on the vehicle body via a pendulum support, which extends essentially in the vertical direction. The second link, extending approximately in the longitudinal direction, is supported in an articulated manner, on one side, on the body with only one kinematic rotational degree of freedom and on the other side to the first link between the wheel bearing and a pendulum support fastening point with only one kinematic rotational degree of freedom. No other wheel guiding link is provided, except for a connecting element.
