  • Patent number: 7464779
    Abstract: An all-wheel drive motor vehicle having at least two wheel axles and comprising an electrical or hydraulic drive unit having a plurality of electric or hydraulic motors connected to an electrical or hydraulic energy source. Each motor is associated with a drive wheel and drives such wheel via a transmission. The motors that are associated with a given one of the wheel axles are adapted to be coupled with one another via a shiftable transverse locking device. At least one of the motors on a first side of the vehicle is adapted to be coupled, via a shiftable longitudinal locking device, with one of the motors associated with a different one of the wheel axles on the same side or on a second side of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20060005695
    Abstract: The invention relates to an armoured wheeled vehicle consisting of individual sections. Said vehicle consists of one driving section (1) containing a drive unit, and one mission section (2) which can be detached from the tail end of the driving section (1) and can be coupled to the vertical separating plane (T). Said driving section (1) and said mission section (2) respectively comprise a tail wall (4.1-4.5) or a front wall (5.1-5.5) in the coupling cross-section, and/or a frame profile which extends along at least part of the circumference thereof, and the tail wall and front wall applied against each other during the coupling process can be rigidly coupled together at at least two points on the circumference thereof by means of positively engaging coupling devices.
