The invention relates to a motor vehicle comprising wheels arranged on a steerable front axle and a steerable rear axle, a drive device (9) for operating at least the rear axle and a power device (8, 10) for supplying power to drive device (9). The motor vehicle is characterized in that it comprises an essentially non-mechanical transmission of power from the power device (8, 10) to the drive device (9) and that the wheels are arranged at the respective corners of the vehicle. By means of the invention, a bus having a long wheel base and a short total length is provided, which provides good manoeuvrability and effective utilization of the passenger space. The bus can be provided with a self-supporting body structure with a mid section (22) designed as a framework of strong, suitable extruded aliminium profiles. This results in a light and at the same time strong construction which is also resistant to corrosion and suitable for recycling. Safety bars (23, 24) made from steel are arranged in the back and front, so as to prevent the roof from being pressed in should the bus roll over.
