ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a driving arrangement for an electric motor vehicle in which each of the two wheels of an axle is supported on separate shaft sections. Each motor or each rotor of a dual rotor motor drives only one driving wheel of an axle in order to mechanically decouple the driving wheels. One of the separate shaft sections of the axles includes a tapered portion which forms a shaft stub and the other shaft section includes a hollow shaft stub. The tapered shaft stub is supported in the hollow shaft stub by a slide bearing disposed inside the hollow shaft stub. Speed differences at the slide bearing between the axle sections can result only from slippage when negotiating a turn or from uneven wear of, for example, the wheels.
