Abstract

Vehicle has front (12) and rear (14) chassis sections, with an articulated frame (24) between. The sections perform steering movements about a vertical axis (34), and twisting movements about a horizontal one determined by a ball-joint (48). The power unit is mounted in the front section and a driven unit (81) in the rear one, coupled to the power unit by a transmission system (88, 92) with a propeller shaft (90) and universal joint (94) and a further shaft and universal joint in the front section. A support (100) hinges on the articulated frame and the rear chassis section and causes the propeller shaft (90) to move along a path keeping it in a common plate with the vertical axis (34) during relative steering and twisting movement between the chassis sections.
