ABSTRACT:
An articulated vehicle such as, a bus having a lead car and a trailer coupled to each other through the intermediary of a central ball joint in the central longitudinal plane of the vehicle. The central ball joint transmits only horizontal forces between the lead car and the trailer and can therefore be supported through comparatively lightweight elements which require little space. The transmission of vertical forces between the lead car and trailer is effected through arms located on both sides of the joint. A cardan shaft is extended along the longitudinal center plane of the articulated vehicle from the lead car to the trailer.
