<p>The vehicle includes a battery- supplied electric motor drive in which series-wound motors are used with at least one driving motor or one pair of driving motors (17, 18) provided for each of at least two driving wheels (2). The series-wound motors are connected to the wheels they respectively drive by non-rigid transmission systems (11, 12, 13). Town-street and high- speed road operating conditions are selected by a control unit (5) varying the circuit arrangements. For town traffic a series system is adopted, while for high-speed operation at least some of the series-wound motors are connected in parallel, as determined by a preprogramming device (22) having a preselector (23), forming part of the control unit(S) and linked to the speedometer (19), with a driving pedal (21) having a resistance (24) coming into action after the vehicle has achieved a preprogrammed speed, so that the high-speed setting is initiated by a kickdown effect. <IMAGE></p> |
