All-Terrain Vehicle and Method of Increasing Passability Thereof

摘要

The invention relates to the automotive technique. Its use while creating new and improving current all-terrain vehicles allows to ensure the achievement of the technical result in the form of simplifying the all-terrain vehicle transmission, increasing the reliability, and decreasing the wheels surface wear, specifically for wheels having a non-hub drive. For this purpose, an all-terrain vehicle comprises: an engine transmission section; a pair of caterpillar drives from each of the side faces of the engine transmission section; a support frame provided with at least two rotatably mounted axles, on each of which at least two wheels are fixed so as the distance between the maximal radius circles of those wheels at each of those axles corresponding approximately the distance between the midline of the caterpillar drives; wherein the engine transmission section being fixed on the support frame so as a contact pattern of each of the caterpillar drives with a surface of the corresponding wheel being not less than a contact pattern of the lower portion of this wheel with the movement supporting surface.
