The multipurpose vehicle (1) can be utilized in a variety of ways and comprises a traction head (14) and a trail part (15). Said combination enabl es the vehicle to be used alternately for three types of locomotion i.e. wheel- road (6), wheel-rail (7) and magnetic levitation (8). For wheel-rail locomotion (7) and wheel-road locomotion (6), said vehicle has a combined track crown wheel (5) and a road wheel (4). For use as a magnetic levitation vehicle, at least four supports (11) with telescopic or pivotable current conducting magnetic coils are provided on both sides of the chassis and asynchronous short stator motors (13) are disposed on the sides. For the transition from one locomotion type to another, ramps are used, whereby the travel ways (6,7) are lowered in relation to each other. In order to overcom e discontinuities such as crossings (38), points (39) and level crossings, par ts of the travel ways (40, 41, 42, 43, 45) are lowered in relation to each othe r or are folded.
