PURPOSE:To reduce the turning radius and improve the turning stability by mounting an engine onto a front part car body so that the output shaft side is directed to the front part of the car body and connecting the output shaft of a reduction gear positioned in the most front part of the front part car body and a front axle through a propeller shaft. CONSTITUTION:As for an articulate vehicle 6, a front car body 20 having a front axle 1 and a rear car body 4 having a rear axle 3 are connected in turnable ways by the longitudinal pins 5a and 5b, and connected through the right and left steering cylinders in pairs. In this case, an engine 7 is mounted onto the front car body 20 so that the output shaft 7a is directed to the front part of the car body, and a torque converter 8, transmission 9, and a reduction gear 10 for transmitting the output of the engine 7 are arranged in succession in front of the output shaft 7a. An output shaft 23 projectingly installed onto an output flange 22 under the reduction gear 10 positioned at the most front part of the front car body 2 and the front axle 1 are connected by a front side propeller shaft 24.
