A vehicle body lowering system (350) installed in a motor vehicle having a wheeled carriage, a cargo/passenger compartment body (368), a door in the passenger compartment body for cargo loading and unloading or passenger embarking and debarking, and a spring suspension (366) for the buoyant support of the body above the carriage between a lower position and an upper position, the system including a drive (354) for forcing the body into the lower position comprising a power source and an interconnection (360) between the body and the carriage, and a manually-actuated control for energizing and deenergizing the power source. The interconnection is characterized by an operative condition at which the body is in the lower position under the control of the power source, and an inoperative condition at which the body is freely subject to the buoyant support of the spring suspension. The interconnection has at least one coupling to the body and at least one coupling to the carriage.

La présente invention concerne un système d'abaissement de la carrosserie d'un véhicule (350) constitué d'un châssis à roues, d'un habitacle carrossé pour marchandises ou passagers (368), d'une portière dans l'habitacle passagers carrossé pour le chargement ou le déchargement des marchandises ou pour l'embarquement ou le débarquement des passagers, et une suspension à ressorts (366) assurant le soutien flottant de la carrosserie au-dessus du châssis entre une position basse et une position haute. Pour amener la carrosserie en position basse, le système comporte un dispositif d'entraînement (354) constitué d'une source d'énergie et d'une interconnexion (360) entre la carrosserie et le châssis et d'une commande manuelle d'actionnement et de non actionnement de la source d'énergie. L'interconnexion est caractérisée par un état "fonctionnement" selon lequel la carrosserie est en position basse sous la commande de la source d'alimentation, et un état "repos" selon lequel la carrosserie est soumise librement au soutien flottant de la suspension à ressorts. L'interconnexion dispose d'au moins un couplage avec la carrosserie et d'au moins un couplage avec le châssis.
