Main Article Content
Abstract
In today s scenario, rear axle with differential lock arrangement is one of the key required parameter for military vehicles. As per the current central motor vehicles rules an all wheel drive army vehicle can be considered as an off-road vehicle if the vehicle at least has an arrangement of differential lock at its rear axle. This paper details the development of such rear axle with differential lock and validation of the design in-line with the durability test on heavy duty chassis dynamometer. A comparison of recommended design standards and test results is also presented.
