Mechanical transmission and hydraulic components in the powertrain are therefore surpluses to requirements.
Operation
The intelligent 4 wheel drive of the concept tractor provides optimal power transmission. The four electric hub motors receive energy from the battery or generator according to need. Individual control allows for outstanding traction and precision steering. In purely electric mode, the STEYR Concept enables zero-emissions in both exhaust emissions and noise. The charging of the battery pack can also be done at the plug socket. The option of regenerative braking is also available with all the electric motors in the tractor.
