Which primary function does the installation of an air suspension system on heavy-tonnage trucks ensure?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The air suspension of heavy trucks uses air bellows or air springs fed by the vehicle's own compressed air. Its great advantage is that, by means of leveling valves or electronic management systems, it keeps the body at a constant, level height, automatically compensating for variations in weight and in load distribution. It does not serve to increase the suspended weight borne by each axle: it does not seek to increase that mass nor does it change the weight distribution in that sense. Nor is its purpose to relieve the overload of the mechanical springs, because air suspension replaces conventional leaf springs (or works independently).
