ABSTRACT:
In the truck (1) the static and dynamic forces are absorbed by the frame (5). In designing the body unit fitted on the frame (5), therefore, only the unit's own weight and the passenger load are significant, thus facilitating the use of extremely lightly-built vehicle bodies. The truck (1) has single-wheel drive units (2), a longitudinal driver (3) interconnecting them, on each long side of a drive (4), the frames (5) bearing the end unit (9) and a drive control (6) for turning the single-wheel drive units (2) horizontally in response to curves. A wheelless central unit (10) is supported on each short side of the truck (1) via a link (8). A push-pull device (7) engages with the short side opposite the link (8). There are no steps, pedestals or shoulders inside the vehicle which is thus freely accessible. In the region of the truck there are recesses in the form of wheel-boxes (9.1) in which certain parts of the truck (1 ) are arranged.
