Feuchte Wiesen, steile Hänge und lockere Böden stellen für landwirtschaftliche Fahrzeuge oft eine Herausforderung dar. Ein neues #Antriebssystem, das #Offroad-Fahrzeuge sicher durch schwieriges Gelände bringt, haben Forschende des #KITKarlsruhe gemeinsam mit einem Industriepartner entwickelt. Es ersetzt herkömmliche #Differenziale durch einzeln steuerbare Getriebe an jedem Rad. So lassen sich Gelände bewältigen, die zuvor nicht befahrbar waren.
