The article presents the analysis of the most significant inventions in the field of vehicle bearing systems from the world leading automakers and automotive component manufacturers. The most rational and technological designs of frames, cross members, side members, subframes are described. The basic approaches applied to their development are explained. Attention is paid to the distinction between vehicle bearing systems with dependent and independent suspension. Constructive solutions providing the necessary strength, durability and protection of components and assemblies during vehicle operation are described. The basic development trends in the field of truck bearing systems are formulated.
