Independent inter-axles with through bevel gear type are not common for heavy duty vehicles. To increase ground clearance, to disconnect output power toward wheels for part time drive, to lock differential and to provide sufficient lubrication and cooling effect under high climate condition, the through bevel gears, dog clutches and lubrication pump for cooling can be applied to the inter-axle. Design processes and parameters in this research are available to use similar axles development.
