A class 8 truck was tested on city streets and highway roads with road surfaces typical of most city roads and interstate highways, in order to examine the effect of various combination of passive and semiactive dampers on ride improvement. The tests showed that semiactive dampers improve ride, compared to passive dampers. Placing semiactive dampers on the front axle and passive dampers on the rear axle provided a better ride than passive dampers on the front and semiactive dampers on the rear axles. The combination of semiactive dampers on the front axle and soft dampers on the rear axles provided a ride nearly as good as semiactive dampers on all axles.
