It was also used on Berliet trucks and has more recently been used on Mercedes-Benz cars. Similar systems are also used on some military vehicles. The suspension was referred to as oléopneumatique in early literature, pointing to oil and air as its main components.The purpose of this system is to provide a sensitive, dynamic and high-capacity suspension that offers superior ride quality on a variety of surfaces.Hydro-pneumatic combines the advantages of two technological principles:Hydraulic systems use torque multiplication in an easy way, independent of the distance between the input and output, without the need for mechanical gears or leversPneumatic systems are based on the fact that gas is compressible, so equipment is less subject to shock damage. Gas absorbs excessive force, whereas fluid in hydraulics directly transfers forceThe suspension system usually features both self-leveling and driver-variable ride height, to provide extra clearance in rough terrain.The principles illustrated by the successful use of Hydro-pneumatic suspension are now used broad range of applications, like aircraft oleo struts and gas filled automobile shock absorbers, first patented in the U.S. in 1960."@en }
