Abstract

The subject matter of the invention is a trackless tugger train having at least one transportation module and at least two axle modules. Each transportation module is arranged between two axle modules, wherein each axle module has a wheel axle and a steering device for steering the wheel axle, wherein the steering devices of the axle module are embodied in each case in such a way that each steering device steers the axle module which is assigned to it, independently of a steering device of another axle module.
