A vehicle fluid spring system is adapted to absorb road shock imparted onto at least one road wheel of a vehicle. The vehicle fluid spring system includes a fluid spring and a variable volume unit. The fluid spring includes a fluid chamber adapted to change in volume. The variable volume unit including a rigid piston cylinder, a piston, a fluid cavity, and an actuator. The piston is adapted to reciprocate within, and is in sliding contact with, the rigid piston cylinder. The fluid cavity is defined by the piston cylinder and the piston. The actuator is adapted to drive the piston changing a volume of the fluid cavity. The fluid cavity is in fluid communication with the fluid chamber.
