The displacement of the hydraulic pump is controlled so that it delivers to the n hydraulic motors a constant flow that is proportional to the speed of the wheels rotated by the drive.

The adjusted constant is defined and corrected when the vehicle is in predetermined conditions of use, in order to reflect the real state of the vehicle.
