  • Patent number: 8660724
    Abstract: A drive system for a vehicle is provided, in particular for an agricultural or industrial utility vehicle. The drive system comprises a first and a second drive assembly (, a first and a second branch, at least one control unit and at least one output interface. The first drive assembly is connectable to the first branch. The second drive assembly is connectable to the second branch. The first branch and/or the second branch is/are reversibly connectable to the output interface.

  • Publication number: 20110178660
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drive system for a vehicle, in particular, for an agricultural or industrial commercial vehicle. The drive system (10) comprises a first and a second drive module (12, 14), a first and a second branch (22, 24), at least one controller (16) and at least one output interface (30). The first drive module (12) may be switched to the first branch (22). The second drive module (14) may be switched to the second branch (24). The first branch (22) and/or the second branch (24) is(are) reversibly connectable to the output interface (30). The drive modules (12, 14) may be controlled with at least one controller (16) such that the drive modules (12, 14) can provide a step-free and independent given power. Said drive system comprises a greater range than conventionally available and at least substantially avoids inconvenient switching processes.
