The principle of cooperative redundancy between multiple steering systems is extended to six wheeled vehicles where most of the power is delivered to the driven wheels by means of high efficiency shaft drives. Furthermore because power can be delivered to steerable wheels capable of turning through 180 degrees, the six wheeled vehicle is capable of rotating about the centre of the non steerable axle. The principle of cooperative redundancy between multiple steering systems has also been extended to articulated trains comprising one tractor and one or more trailers. The invention enables scuffing to be eliminated and off tracking to be minimised. E~IIJ - _ "ii £2 ___ I *q-4 ~Ij I
