Wheel assembly for a vehicle
DRIVE
August 8, 2001
A multi-disc wheel assembly (10) for a vehicle (12) is provided. The multi-disc wheel assembly includes a plurality of narrow discs assemblies (22) that form a wheel assembly. The plurality of narrow disc assemblies include first (22a) and second (22b) narrow disc assemblies. A first independent drive mechanism (26) applies a rotational force to the first narrow disc assembly to produce a first speed. A second independent drive mechanism (26) applies a rotational force to the second narrow disc assembly to produce a second speed unequal to the first speed during a vehicle turn to minimize wheel assembly scrub.
