Hydraulic Body Motion Control – HBMC is Nissan’s new suspension technology particularly designed for full-size SUVs to assist in balancing on-road ride comfort and driving performance with off-road ability. The technology was used first in Nissan’s Patrol and later in Infiniti QX.

Nissan’s HBMC helps decrease body lean when turning for a more comfortable drive. Using hydraulic cylinders situated at the shock absorbers, it modifies roll stiffness by permitting fluid transfer between the right and left sides of the car via passive weight transfer at times of normal driving.

The technology features two hydraulic systems linked by cross-link pipes to the hydraulic cylinders of the four-wheel independent suspension. This absorbs the bumps on the street and helps in reducing the body lean while cornering. It assists in minimizing fluctuation of view of passengers on board and gives a comfortable drive. It doesn’t need a source of power as in the case of other similar systems and so there’s no compromise with its fuel efficiency.

Fluid present in the two external wheel hydraulic cylinders circulates to the accumulator and increases the roll stiffness of the suspension. It compromises the centrifugal force, decreasing the level of sinking on the outer side of the car and assisting to reduce the occupant variation of view.

The suspension for individual wheel increases or falls as per conditions of the road, absorbing the vibrations that are caused due to off-road holes and bumps.
