ABSTRACT:
A hub reduction gear drive unit for mounting in a hub of a vehicle. Essentially, the hub reduction gear unit comprises an epicyclic gear train in which the planet gear carrier is retained stationary so that the planet gear carrier also forms a hub axle and may be manufactured from a low cost robust casting. The sun gear and sun gear shaft are driven which in turn drives the annulus gear, fast on the hub through the planet gears.
