Abstract: A vehicle drive assistance system equipped with an open hydraulic circuit has a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor and a reservoir. The system has a three-position valve suitable for: in a first position, supplying the hydraulic motor in a first direction of operation; in a second position, fluidly isolating the hydraulic motor from the hydraulic pump and connecting the hydraulic motor to the reservoir; and in a third position, supplying the hydraulic motor in a second direction of operation. A flow controller is positioned between the hydraulic pump and the three-position valve. The flow controller is configured in such a way as to selectively allow or not allow the passage of fluid through the supply duct of the hydraulic pump toward the three-position valve.

Abstract: A vehicle including a driving axle (10), a driven axle (20), a hydraulic pump (14) and a hydraulic motor (24) providing hydraulic assistance for driving the driven axle (20) by lapping off torque applied to the driving axle (10). The driving axle (10) comprising includes a differential (11) thus defining two output half axles on which wheels are mounted. Rotation of the box allows the output half axles to be rotationally driven at distinct speeds. The hydraulic pump (14) includes a rotor and a stator, the stator being mounted fixed with respect to the chassis and the rotor being connected to and rotating as one with the differential box (11). The hydraulic pumps (14) are rotationally driven at a speed equal to the average speed of the two half axles associated with the differential (11) on which the pump is mounted.

Abstract: A hydrostatic transmission including a main pump, two main ducts serving respectfully as feed and as discharge for first and second hydraulic motors that serve to drive disposed one after the other. A bypass valve can take up a reduced-speed position in which the feed main orifices are connected to the discharge main duct, and an increased-speed position in which one of the motors is bypassed, the feed main orifice of the motor being connected to the discharge main duct via a bypass link, while the other main orifices continue to have their respective links. The apparatus further includes a constriction suitable for being activated to restrict the flow of fluid through the bypass link.
