Paper reviews advantages of d-c electric drive systems and compares their performance with diesel or gas-turbine powered vehicles using conventional differential drives; it is shown that independent wheel drive system provided by electric drive develops torque at each wheel that allows wheel to minimize slipping or sliding; this is accomplished by motorized wheel developed by General Electric Co; motorized wheel design pictured is in service on off-highway trucks of 85- to 165-ton capacity built by Unit Rig and Equipment Co and LeTourneau-Westinghouse; description of engine power train system.
