Abstract

A new method to improve vehicle mobility and energy efficiency of multi-wheel vehicles is proposed. It is shown the power distribution between the drive wheels impacts driveline power losses and power losses in the tire-soil contacts. Conditions for the maximum driveline efficiency analysed and the maximization of the tire slippage efficiency are analysed for a 6x6 terrain vehicle with different driveline configurations.
