Abstract

Disclosed is a vehicle axis comprising an axis body (5) which is supported by a spring in relation to a vehicle frame; at least one longitudinal trailing arm (4) intersecting at least the axle body (5); traction elements pulling said parts towards each other and extending in a perpendicular manner with respect to the trailing arm and the axis body, in addition to a pneumatic spring (6) which is arranged above the intersection area and provided with a base plate, a cover (23) and pneumatic-suspension bellows (21). In order to provide a weight-saving vehicle axis exhibiting a correspondingly low unsuspended mass weight, the longitudinal trailing arm (4) is articulated on the vehicle frame exclusively in the region of the front end thereof; the traction elements (10) are supported on the base plate (12) of the pneumatic springs (6) and the lower side of the base plate (12) rests upon the axle body (5) or the longitudinal trailing arm (4).
