DVC Technology

The DVC™ technology comprises a series of innovations and devices, all designed to create optimal driving performance to a tilting vehicle. It comprises a feedback controlled tilting system enabling the vehicle to lean into corners always keeping it in perfect balance. It consists of a robust mechanical/hydraulic system that is supported by an electronic fine-tuning system. It’s function is based on a hydraulic valve control system that senses the side-force on the front wheel to control the position of the cabin.

The DVC Technology Portfolio

The DVC™ technology portfolio consists of a number of different technical solutions that are designed to create optimal driving performance in a tilting vehicle. The main feature is the primary DVC™ system. This system has been improved by the addition of other technical features. Some of these features are dependent on the basic DVC™ system, and represent improved modification on the unit. Some other technologies are independent and can be used as such, e.g. to improve the performance of other tilting systems. The portfolio has been divided into the separate technologies. Most of the technologies have been wholly or partially covered in one of the patents and can be licensed togetheror separately.
