Abstract: A crawler vehicle has a frame; a first energy storage assembly configured to be removed from the crawler vehicle and to be replaced by a further first energy storage assembly; a propulsion system configured to be powered by the first energy storage assembly; a connection interface configured to selectively and relatively quickly connect/disconnect the first energy storage assembly to/from the propulsion system; a first motorized track and a second motorized track; and a transmission assembly configured to transmit power from the propulsion system to the first and to the second track.

Abstract: A crawler vehicle for ski runs has a frame; a cab; two tracks; a user interface located in the cab; a plurality of sensors configured to acquire signals correlated to the operation of the crawler vehicle, to the weather and/or snow conditions, and to the position of the crawler vehicle in relation to reference points and/or possible obstacles; a control unit for processing said signals and providing additional signals; and at least one projector for projecting on surfaces outside the cab, in particular on the ski run, at least one contoured beam as a function of at least one of the additional signals to provide one piece of information to the driver and/or human beings in the vicinity of the crawler vehicle.

Abstract: For controlling a recuperation behavior in a motor vehicle having a hybrid drive or an electric drive, a basic value of a recuperation torque which is to be used for recuperation is predefined and/or can be set by at least one first operating element, a second operating element is used to set an intermediate value deviating from a basic value for the recuperation torque, after the intermediate value has been set by an operator temporarily, in particular for at least one coasting phase, the intermediate value is used as a recuperation torque, after which switching back to the basic value occurs where a resetting operation is entered.

Abstract: A control device for controlling operation of a motor vehicle having an electric motor in at least three operating states. In a first operating state, the motor vehicle is off; in a second operating state, the motor vehicle is on and the electric motor is not controllable; and in a third operating state, the motor vehicle is on and the electric motor is in operation. The control unit includes a basic control element for turning the motor vehicle on and off, and a gear-shift control element for selecting a gear-shift stage. The motor vehicle can be switched from a first operating state to a second operating state by a signal from the basic control element when the motor vehicle is turned on, and from the second operating state to the third operating state with the gear-shift control element by selecting a gear-shift stage associated with the third operating state.
