Abstract:
Nowadays, parallel hybrid electric drives are used in series production and therefore well known among the specialists of automotive technology. But there is a least known field of off-road uses of electric transmissions and hybrid technology.
Especially for heavy vehicles like mining trucks electric transmissions are quite common and recently important steps were taken concerning military vehicles, multi-purpose vehicles, tractors and mobile working machines. The paper presents the state-off-the-art of these vehicles and shows the possibilities electric transmissions and on board supply systems of a higher voltage offer. At this, main focus is laid on the power supply of auxiliary drives.
