Travel drives in mobile machines are essentially realized using two basic
principles: Either a mechanical travel drive with torque converter or a hydro-
static travel drive. Both drive concepts have inherent specific advantages.
The Hydromechanical variable transmission HVT combines the advan-
tages of the mechanical travel drive with torque converter with those of the
hydrostatic travel drive.
