ABSTRACT:
A vehicle, preferably a track vehicle, having a body and wheels arranged in pairs at the sides of the body. The wheels of each pair are supported by a gantry-like frame having support elements extending upwardly from the wheels and a cross member located in the roof region of the body. This arrangement allows the vehicle floor between the wheels to be made quite low and allows the height of the floor to remain the same throughout the entire vehicle length. The wheels can be driven from a motor located in the roof region and are preferably steerable to some extent to allow necessary adjustment as the vehicle negotiates bends.
