<p>The present patent consists in a vehicle equipped with a series of floating crawlers that rotate on an ovoid rail, forming a continuous track characterised by the male-female couplings between the traction crawlers, hydrodynamic locks and a steering system operating such that one of the sides of the track is braked and the opposite track slides and can rotate through 360°. The object of the vehicle is to tow load barges on rivers or lakes. In the absence of displacement, since the vehicle moves on the water, performance is distinctly improved and fuel consumption is considerably reduced in comparison with watercraft having an equivalent load-carrying capacity.</p> |
