The invention relates to a pneumatic vehicle axle brake assembly (1). The vehicle axle brake assembly (1) comprises a right and left pneumatic brake branch (2, 6) associated with different wheel ends of the vehicle axle and used for controlling the brake pressures biasing the wheel brake actuators. The pneumatic brake branches (2, 6) comprise pivoting anchor valves (3, 7) allowing a fast aeration and de-aeration of the brake actuators.The invention proposes to connect the pneumatic brake branches (2, 6) by a connecting line (32) with an integrated valve device (33). The valve device (33) comprises an open position and a closed position. In the open position the brake pressures at the brake actuators are the same and can be alternatively controlled by the pivoting anchor valves (3, 7) so that also for a failure of one pivoting anchor valve (3, 7) the brake pressure can be provided. Instead, in the closed position of the valve device (33) a separate control in the brake lines (5, 9) is possible which e.g. allows the generation of a yaw moment and/or the consideration of different coefficients of friction at the two wheel ends.The inventive vehicle axle brake assembly (1) can be used for a commercial vehicle, in particular a tractor or a trailer.
