An independent rear suspension of a motor vehicle with an electrical drivetrain. The independent rear suspension including a left semi-trailing arm and a right semi-trailing arm, each of which can be articulated with an end on the body side to a chassis of the motor vehicle and are fixedly connectable to a wheel carrier on an end on the wheel carrier side, and also a transverse leaf spring for the suspension of the rear wheels. The transverse leaf spring is attached on the end side to the ends of the semi-trailing arms on the wheel carrier side, so that between the semi-trailing arms and the transverse leaf spring is formed an open installation space for receiving at least part of the electrical drivetrain.

A rear suspension structure includes left and right trailing arms, left and right hub carriers, and a lateral beam. Each hub carrier includes a front arm portion extending in a direction inward in the vehicle width direction and frontward of an axis of the rear wheels, and a rear arm portion extending rearward of the front arm portion. Each trailing arm has a rear end portion coupled to the hub carrier or the lateral beam via a first coupling portion that is a bushing. The lateral beam includes a left beam extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the rear arm portion disposed on a left side of the vehicle, a right beam extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the rear arm portion disposed on a right side of the vehicle, and left and right second coupling portions displaceably coupling the left beam and the right beam.

A narrow gauge two-wheeled trailer mounted on spaced apart elongated beams and split axles is stabilized against rolling or tilting about the longitudinal axis with a leaf spring suspension and a universal joint coupling. The split axles are mounted on an axle arms pivoted to the beams and supported by leaf springs configured to lengthen or shorten along the beams. The universal joint coupling permits pitch and yaw movement of the trailer but resists rolling.
