Abstract:
A driving wheel structure (100) for a motor vehicle employing an in-wheel motor arrangement includes first (105) and second (108) electric motors for generating drive torques to rotate a wheel (102), a first support member attached to the vehicle body for supporting the first motor on a vehicle body, and a second support member attached to the vehicle body for supporting the second motor on the vehicle body. When the wheel (102) is rotated in one direction by the first motor (105), a reaction torque (F1) is induced in the first support member by the drive torque of the first motor (105) that applies a down-ward bias force (F1) to the wheel (102). When the wheel (102) is rotated in said one direction by the second motor (108), a reaction torque (F2) is induced in the second support member by the drive torque of the second motor that applies an upward bias force (F2) to the wheel (102).
