Robert Holzmann, governor of Austria's central bank, stated that the European Central Bank (ECB) could potentially implement one or two more interest rate increases if there are additional shocks to the economy. While the ECB recently hiked interest rates to a record level, signaling a potential end to the cycle, Holzmann emphasized that if unforeseen shocks occur or if the current information proves incorrect, further rate hikes may be necessary. The ECB's decision to raise rates has been aimed at combating inflation, and the central bank has indicated that the current interest rates will contribute to a timely return of inflation to its target level.

Pickup trucks often have staggered shocks, with one shock mounted in front of the rear axle and the other mounted behind it. This configuration helps to prevent axle hop and tramp, which can occur when leaf springs deform under hard acceleration or braking. The shocks resist the rotation of the axle, reducing the twisting of the springs. Additionally, the lateral spacing of the shocks relative to the wheels affects their motion ratio in roll, with outboard shocks providing better damping. However, the placement of shocks is limited by packaging constraints, and independent suspensions offer more consistent motion ratios in both vertical and roll motions.
