The present invention relates to an axle structure (6) for a commercial vehicle chassis having a wheel axle (R), the spatial position of which is determined by axes of rotation of at least two wheels (16) arranged on opposite sides of the axle structure (6). In order to create an axle construction (6) that leaves sufficient installation space to provide the commercial vehicle (2) with an electric drive in the area of the axle construction (6) and that nevertheless enables safe driving behaviour and a high level of driving comfort, according to the invention the steering arms (8) on the side of the wheel axle (R) facing away from the pivot bearings (10) are connected to one another via an axle bridge (22) and a fastening bracket (24) for connecting steering rods (26) is formed in the centre area of the axle bridge (22).
An axle structure (6) for a commercial vehicle chassis, having a wheel axis (R), the spatial position of which is determined by axes of rotation of at least two wheels (16) arranged on opposite sides of the axle structure (6), the wheels (16) are each held via a wheel carrier (12) on a control arm (8) connected thereto, the control arms (8) are arranged at a distance from one another along the wheel axis (R) and are each oriented in a direction transverse to the wheel axis (R), the control arms (8) each have at a first end a pivot bearing (10), at a first distance from the pivot bearing (10) an interface (18) for attaching a wheel carrier (12) to the respective control arm (8), and at a second distance from the pivot bearing (10) a support section (20) for connecting the respective control arm (8) to a spring element (14), characterized in that the control arms (8) are connected together via an axle bridge (22) on the side of the wheel axis (R) facing away from the pivot bearings (10) and a fastening bracket (24) for attaching suspension struts (26) is formed in the central region of the axle bridge (22).
