ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle with axle pivot steering includes a rigid axle and a steering axle having swivelling wheels. The vehicle frame is made up of a first and a second frame portion each having longitudinally extending beams interconnected by transverse beams. First frame portion extends forwardly of the second frame portion and forms the front end of the frame. The second frame portion extends rearwardly of the first frame portion and forms the rear end of the frame. The longitudinal beams of the first frame portion are located inwardly of the longitudinal beams of the second frame portion and support the rigid axle and the steering axle. The rigid axle is located forwardly of the steering axle. The longitudinal beams in the front portion of the frame are at a level permitting easy access to the driver's seat. Toward the steering axle the longitudinal beams of the second frame portion extend upwardly above the longitudinal beams of the first frame portion over the swivelling wheels forming an arch-like portal so that these wheels can be turned without interference.
