Abstract
An axle module (2) for a vehicle having an electrical on-board circuit (1), an electrical on-board circuit voltage and at least one electrically driven actuator (7). The axle module has a step-up converter (10) and a control device (11) to convert the on-board circuit voltage into an axle voltage, that is higher than the on-board circuit voltage.
