An articulation system () for interconnecting first and second vehicle units of an articulated road vehicle comprises a central element () including a vertical cylinder with left and right arcuate walls () extending between two facing openings. First and second interconnecting structures () are joined to the central element () and are adapted to be respectively attached to the first and second vehicle units on opposed sides of the central element (). Each interconnecting structure has a pitch joint member () and a yaw joint member (). The pitch joint member () has a frame () perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of a corresponding one of the first and second vehicle units and a pitch hinge mechanism () at a floor level to interconnect with the corresponding one of the first and second vehicle units. The yaw joint member () has a frame () perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the corresponding one of the first and second vehicle units and left and right arcuate walls juxtaposed to the left and right arcuate walls () of the vertical cylinder and rotatable therearound. The frame () of the pitch joint member () and the frame () of the yaw joint member () are juxtaposed and mechanically linked to jointly form a planar roll joint mechanism.

A replacement light tube for replacing a fluorescent light tube includes a bulb portion extending between a first end and a second end, the bulb portion comprising a support structure, a plurality of white light emitting diodes (LEDs) and an elongate light-transmissive cover. The support structure has a first surface extending between the first end and the second end. The plurality of LEDs are supported by the first surface and arranged between the first end and the second end. The elongate light-transmissive cover extends between the first end and the second end and over the first surface of the support structure. A first end cap and a second end cap are disposed on the first end and the second end, respectively, each configured to fit with a socket for a fluorescent light tube. A power supply circuit is configured to provide power to the plurality of LEDs. The plurality of LEDs are arranged to emit light through the elongate light-transmissive cover and at least a portion of the power supply circuit is packaged inside at least one of the end caps.

The invention relates to a system for driving the drive wheels () of a vehicle, comprising two sets of electric motors () and casings () (left and right). Each of the casings () comprises an input pinion () which rotates interdependently with the rotor of one of the electric motors () as well as with a set of gears () driving the ring gear () of a planetary gear set (). The two planetary gear sets () are connected to one another by a connecting means () that rotates interdependently with each of the two sun gears () (inner planetaries). The planet carrier () of each of the planetary gear sets () rotates interdependently with a connecting means () of one of the drive wheels (). The two planetary gear sets () perform a double differential function. The invention also relates to a method for controlling the electric motors () that allows the drive system to be used as a torque converter. The drive system can be fixed to the chassis frame of the vehicle. In addition, the two casings () can be located in the wheel cages (). The connecting means () that rotates interdependently with the two sun gears () can be located inside the casing of the floor pan () of the vehicle. The two electric motors () can be located just behind the driven wheels ().

A semi-independent suspension system adapted for a rear or front drive and optionally steerable axle system of a low-floor heavy vehicle, comprising a twist beam axle assembly (), a Panhard rod (), and a pair of spring and shock absorber systems (). The twist beam axle assembly () comprises a pair of rigid longitudinal trailing arms (), a pair of wheel mounting members to lower the cross-beam relative to the wheel axis () and a straight cross-beam (). The cross-beam is set in the right and left trailing arms and the wheel mounting members by an interference fit technique. The cross-beam () has an open-section and is rigid in bending but flexible in torsion. The shape of the cross-section is specifically tailored to increase and control each of the vertical and horizontal bending stiffness (). The cross-section is characterized by having horizontal and vertical lines of symmetry, but with asymmetric horizontal and vertical geometries. The combination of features of the twist beam axle assembly () provides for a full flat floor without slope or extra height over the axle.

A planar space frame for a unibody panel of a vehicle comprises a core mounted onto the bottom side of a load bearing panel. The core is a-D truss including a series of triangular prisms. The triangular prisms have a specific pattern of alternating triangular openings on each of their three lateral faces. For each triangular prism, triangular openings located on the lateral face which is part of a planar layer are alternating right triangles placed two by two to form rectangular units. The right triangles are arranged to have the edges on each side of the right angles aligned with the edges of the planar layer. The triangular openings located on the two inclined lateral faces of each triangular prism, are alternating isosceles triangles placed two by two to form rhomboid units. This combination of triangles provides structural strength and housing functionality.
