The invention relates to a double-
trailing arm type steering
independent suspension for an
electric bus driven by wheel-side motors. The double-
trailing arm type steering
independent suspension comprises a left suspension, a right suspension, steering linkages, a steering
rocker arm, an angle sensor and a steering actuating cylinder. According to the double-
trailing arm type steering
independent suspension disclosed by the invention, drive motors are arranged at wheel positions of the
bus; each
drive motor is located on the side of an output shaft of each of speed reducers; each speed
reducer is fixed to each of supporting arms; the output shaft of each speed
reducer penetrates through a center hole of each supporting arm and is connected with each of wheel-side structures of the
bus, and a wheel of each wheel-side structure is driven to rotate, so that the driving to the
bus is realized; the supporting arms are designed with
high load-bearing performance to replace a conventional supporting arm structure, so that a
shock absorber and a steering mechanism can be directly connected with the supporting arms, the steering and the locking of the bus are facilitated, and beside, the purposes of increasing the
interior space of the bus and reducing the height of a bus floor can be realized.
