Explanation:
TWNA Glossary - Trucking Terms:
Axle - Structural component to which wheels, brakes and suspension are attached.
* Drive axles are those with powered wheels.
* Front axle is usually called the steer axle.
* Pusher axles are unpowered and go ahead of drive axles.
* Rear axles may be drive, tag or pusher types.
* Tag axles are unpowered and go behind drive axles.
***

NTEA Truck Equipment Glossary:
Tag Axle
An auxiliary axle installed in conjunction with the rear axle(s) of a truck chassis. A tag axle is installed behind the rearmost axle thus extending the length of the wheelbase.

Pusher Axle
An auxiliary axle installed in conjunction with the rear axle(s) of a truck chassis. A pusher axle is installed ahead of the drive axles, thus shortening the length of the wheelbase.

Problema cu anterior si posterior e oarecum incurcata, pentru ca de fapt ambele osii in cauza (tag / pusher) sint in partea din spate a sasiului si difera doar prin pozitia fata de osia motoare (care e tot in spate). Insa \'osie portanta spate anterioara\' ar suna cam oxiMORONIC, asa ca am rezerve.
