Recently, the condition of service of drive-shafts has become more and more severe because of increases in engine power, vehicle maximum speed and so on. Data acqusition tests were done in Europe and in Japan using the same verhicle, to improve the estimation method of drive-shaft life in the market. This paper mainly describes the comparison between the operating conditions in Europe and in Japan. A data acquisition test for drive-shafts was done in Europe by GKN-Technology Limited and TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION in the Autumn of 1988. An identical test was also done in Japan by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION using the same test vehicle. This paper describes the comparison between the conditions of service in Europe and in Japan, and the estimation of drive-shaft life.
