PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle in which an occupant does not feel unpleasant even when the body of the vehicle receives a horizontal G-force (acceleration force). SOLUTION: The vehicle 1 comprises: a support frame 3 suspended between wheels 2 and fitted with running gears including an engine (not shown in Fig.); a pivot 5 supported by a supporting part 4 on the support frame 3 and extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1 (the direction perpendicular to the page surface); and a cabin 6 supported on the support frame 3 via the pivot 5 and a hanging member 7 so as to be swingable around the axis 5a of the pivot 5. When the cabin 6 receives a centrifugal force when the vehicle runs through a curve, the cabin 6 tilts inward relative to the curve. Besides, a pair of plungers 25 are arranged on both horizontal ends of the hanging member 7, respectively, so that one of mobile parts 26 of the plungers 25 comes in contact with the hanging member 7 to regulate a swing angle of the cabin 6.
