Abstract

A semi-rigid axle for a vehicle may include a torsion profile, which extends in a Y direction and is open downward in a Z direction; and two longitudinal control arms, which are connected to the semi-rigid axle and are each connected to the torsion profile by a gusset plate arrangement. Each gusset plate arrangement has a first gusset plate welded to one of the two longitudinal control arms and a second gusset plate arranged at least partially above the first gusset plate. First and second connecting sections of the first and second gusset plates are connected to one another and each of the first and second gusset plates is welded to an inside of the torsion profile on both sides in an X direction.
