The invention concerns a multi-section vehicle, in particular an articulated bus, with a swivelling joint, comprising a turntable, linking two sections (21, 22) of the vehicle. The vehicle sections are linked to each other in substantially torsionally rigid fashion. When road unevenness is encountered, the turntable is therefore subjected to high torsional stresses. While in conventional turntables the rings (1, 3) making up the turntable are stabilized with respect to these stresses by linking them to cross-members, the invention calls for the outer ring (1) to be made sufficiently rigid to act itself as the cross-member. This gives a reduction in overall height and a simpler design. |
