A trackless train with complementary steering couplings between axles and cars transmits steering forces from one axle to the next, in succession. Couplings couple axles of cars, as well as adjacent axles between adjacent cars. Each axle assembly may either pivot about a central bearing or include a pivoting steering arm for each wheel that pivots about a steering pin, with wheels on the inside of a turn pivoting more than wheels on the outside of a turn. Differentials may be provided to transfer power to each wheel, including from car to car.
