The axle with indepenent wheels according to the invention is of the type comprising two coaxial half-shafts (1), each one carrying at least one wheel (2) equipped with a braking device, two box structures (4) on which the half-shafts are rotationally mounted, these box structures (cases) being articulated to a crossmember (5) intended to be fixed to a vehicle chassis (6), particularly of a heavy goods vehicle, and two pneumatic suspensions (7) mounted on the box structures so as to support the chassis when the crossmember is fixed to the latter. It is essentially characterised in that the crossmember is made up of a compressed-air reservoir having a cylindrical lateral wall (8) provided with orifices (9) respectively connected to at least one inlet pipe connected to a source of compressed air and to at least two outlet pipes respectively connected to the braking devices and to the suspensions (7). The invention makes it possible to reduce the response time of braking devices and to improve safety. <IMAGE>
