Each arrangement comprises a hollow sub-frame having its forward end pivotally mounted on the main frame by a ball and socket connection and its rearward end pivotally connected under the main frame by a suspension cylinder. A pair of roadwheels are rotatably mounted on either side of the sub-frame and driven by a common drive axle. The power input to the drive axle comprises a drive motor mounted on an inboard side of the sub-frame and drivingly connected to the axle by an intermediate gear train disposed within the hollow sub-frame.
