Context:
"Einzelradaufhängung / Antrieb
Der Antrieb soll über eine Einzelradaufhängung geschehen."

I would have thought that Einzelradaufhängung would simply be "independent suspension" or "independent wheel suspension", but in that case, I really don't understand this. Can drive be delivered to the wheels via the suspension?
* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See above

independent suspension
@David, technically there really is no other type than independent suspension if Einzelradaufhängung is the term. So there you're 100% safe.
A car can typically have independent suspension in the front, and a rear axle (e.g. a deDion axle) where the wheels are linked and in fixated position. Drive can be supplied over both front and rear suspension, but in this example drive tot the front train is most common.
What is meant here, is that the power supply/drive to the wheels should go via the independent suspension, so in this case over the front suspension, but nevertheless using drive shafts etc.

@David: Good question, that's where the confusion comes from. The suspension itself must (amongst other important tasks that it fulfils) hold the wheel in it's place, can by no means transfer engine power to the wheel. It is supposed to stay steady (while allowing the wheel to move up and down and turn around and turn left&right for steering purposes if it's the front axle), so it can by no means transfer drive power to that same wheel itself. The drive shaft goes from the gearbox (or differential or whatever part of the power train) through the suspension geometry to the wheel to make it turn.
Here's a rear wheel drive axle system:

I hope that it completes the picture.

| OK, I think I see, but is suspension used as a drive shaft or transmission in some way? |

Um Glasschäden beim internen Transport zu verhindern hilft eine Einzelradaufhängung natürlich enorm, bei der Stabilität des Gabelstaplers und das Ausgleichen von kräftige Bewegungen.
Schon witzig was so alles vorbei kommt....! :-)
um Teile in den Autoklav/Ofen zu transportieren, und es wird auch ein Rad von einem Gabelstaplers zum vergleich gezeit, also denke ich schon, dass es sich um einen 'wheel' handelt.
