Abstract: The invention provides a drive train for propelling a vehicle capable of being used for transporting ore, coal or broken rock in underground mining operations. The vehicle has front and rear wheelsets, each comprising a right and left side wheel. The drive train comprises drive apparatus such as an electrically driven motor for delivering torque to at least a front wheel and rear wheel on one side of the vehicle. A torque sharing apparatus in the form of an epicyclic gear arrangement is interposed between the motor and the wheels, and operable to share torque delivered by the motor between the front and rear wheels while permitting them to rotate at different speeds in relation to each other. Front and rear transfer apparatus comprising gear trains co-operating with the epicyclic gear arrangement are provided for transferring torque to the front and rear wheels respectively.
