Abstract
The present invention is directed to a driveline configuration for a heavy-duty truck having multiple drive axles. The driveline configuration reduces the torsional vibrations associated with second order torsional excitation produced by the driveline's universal joints in both nominal and off-design conditions. The forward drive axle ( ) and rearward drive axle ( ) are oriented such that the interaxle drive shaft ( ) utilizes a parallel shaft geometry with small joint operating angles. A double cardan joint ( ) connects the main drive shaft ( ) to the forward drive axle.
