Abstract
In a vehicle equipped with individual, electric wheel, drive trains, prime movers (16, 18) are situated radially outside the drive wheels (4, 6) and by a linking transmission (12, 14) rigidly connected with a vehicle body (2) are operatively coupled with drive wheels (4, 6). The drive wheels (4, 6) are unsprung relative to the vehicle body (2) and connected by transmission shafts (8, 10) with the linking transmission (12, 14). One shiftable clutch (32) is proposed with which the two drive wheels (4, 6) can be selectively operatively coupled together.
