The vehicle concept of a hybrid implement carrier has been described. An ICE powers the PTO-shaft for implement-drive mechanically. But the traction drive is infinitely variable, by using electric single wheel drive. Several steering modes have been implemented. The wheel drives and the steering actuators have to be synchronized. Required wheel speeds are calculated according to the Ackermann principle. Tests in practice showed good system behavior. The difference from Ackermann-steering angle to real wheel steering angles will be analyzed in the future. A future perspective of the presented hybrid vehicle is autonomous driving in test fields. A GPS-system will be added to the system. The paths will be predefined on a computer application in a first step. Much more features are possible beyond that.
