Abstract

A articulated vehicle understanding: a front secondary chassis (1) and a rear secondary chassis (6) having at least one motor axis (48, 51); a main chassis (2) pivotantly supported by each secondary chassis (1, 6); a motor mounted in one of the secondary chassis (1, 6); a mechanism for communicating constant speed power among the secondary chassis (1, 6), the mechanism understanding an intermediate axis (20) that extends substantially along the central line (2 '') of the main chassis (2) when the central lines (1 '', 6 '') of the secondary chassis (1, 6) and the main chassis (2) are aligned, the extremes of the intermediate axis (20) of universal joints (20a, 20b) connected are provided, respectively, to a front axle (18) that extends substantially along the central line (1 '') of the front secondary chassis (1) and a rear axle (21, 49) which extends substantially throughout the central line (6 '') of the rear secondary chassis (6); means of direction to make the front secondary chassis (1) pivot with relation to the main chassis (2); and control means to control the pivoting of the rear secondary chassis (6) in relation to the main chassis (2) according to the pivoting of the front secondary chassis (1); characterized because the control means control the pivoting of the secondary rear chassis (6) so that, during the turn, the central lines (1 '', 6 '') of the two secondary chassis (1, 6) intersect between at a point (61) whose geometric place (62) is closer to the pivot axle (27) of the front secondary chassis (1) to the pivot axle (30) of the rear secondary chassis (6), and the universal joints ( 20a, 20b) of the intermediate axis (20) are situated so that they are equitistants of dichopunto (61) of intersection.
