• The evaluation rear-steer Iveco allows extraordinarily tight turns both forward and back, and the steering works unobtrusively except that it does not self-centre. But the rear overhang leads to extreme swing-out rather than the cut-in of an urban artic.The vehicle we drove locked the rear wheels straight at 30km/h rather than 15km/i-i; above this speed the vehicle WCI S quite stable, but at 25km/11 it took a while to judge vehicle positioning.
However, the concept certainly works; if it is proved in practice Phoenix Axles could be getting a ot of interest from other chassis manufacturers.
