A braking system for a twin tire axle of a long-haul commercial vehicle is disclosed. The twin tire axle couples to rims for the twin tires and to a drive engine. The braking system includes: a gearbox with at least one part configured to be attached to the rims; a shaft configured to connect the gear box with the drive engine; and a brake unit configured to brake a rotating part of the braking system that is rotatable at a higher rotational speed than the rims. The gearbox and at least part of the brake unit are adapted to be placed inside the rims of the twin tires.
