In some aspects, the electric version even surpasses the conventionally powered models – in fording depth, for example. The rear axle is a De Dion design and has been completely redeveloped. The electric motors are attached to the ladder frame and connected to the wheels via dual-joint shafts. The advantage of this is that the camber does not change during compression. Double-universal-joint driveshafts transmit the propulsion and incorporate sliding joints to equalise the length.
