Here's a concept for you: replace a trailer's passive axle with a hybrid electric-powered package that helps capture energy lost during nominal operating conditions and turn it into more "oomph" when ...

An axle shaft is a component of a vehicle's suspension system that transmits torque from the differential to the wheels and supports the vehicle's weight. It is a rotating rod or shaft that connects ...

The CV axle (or the Constant-Velocity joint) is critical to any vehicle's front driveline. Of course, we all know the engine burns fuel to produce power, and the transmission sends the engine's power ...

Powered trailer axles are unusual, even in Europe where they do things differently with trucks than what we do here in North America. That’s why a new product from SAF-Holland, a hydraulically driven ...

We surveyed mechanics from around the country to get real-world estimates of how much you can expect to spend repairing your axles, and average costs ranged from $287 for an axle shaft seal repair to ...

When it come to trends in axles and suspensions, it's all about efficiency. Fleets are constantly looking for ways to become more operationally efficient, whether it's fuel economy, increased payload, ...

When it comes to towing heavy loads, conventional wisdom states that more trailer axles are better. Just look at those specially built haulers that carry million-pound superloads—they have more axles ...

Constant velocity axles, also known as CV axles, play a vital role in a vehicle's ability to drive. They are the drivetrain's final components that connect to the wheels and transfer the power ...
