Abstract

Content: For some years, the transmission system for large off-highway trucks has been the domain of electric drives as, having been developed for rail service, they were available in the applicable power levels. This paper describes the design of a hydro-mechanical transmission to compete with the electrics in the off-highway area at similar power levels.
