Motor vehicle i.e. light urban vehicle, has steering gear changing system with transmission unit to transmit recovered energy to right driving wheel for applying additional engine torque to wheel to support vehicle to turn toward left side

摘要

The vehicle (10) has a steering gear changing system (12) comprising a left driving wheel (24G) mounted rotatably on a chassis. A right driving wheel (24D) is mounted rotatably on the chassis around an axis (A3) coaxial to a rotational axis of the left driving wheel. A left braking unit (32G) recovers a portion of kinetic energy of the left driving wheel, when the braking unit slows down the left wheel. A transmission unit of the system transmits the energy to the right driving wheel for applying an additional engine torque to the right wheel to support the vehicle to turn toward left side.
