An electrical drive system for a vehicle with a skid steering element
exhibits a homogeneous electrical drive engine and a homogeneous gear
unit (16, 18) on the left and on the right side in each case, which are
propelled by a drive engine (2,4), assigned in each case, and over a
power drive flange (28, 40) to propel a track or a drive wheel. Two
transfer elements (26, 24) of the left gear unit (16), which do not form
the drive, are directly connected by a mechanical gear train crosswise in
each case with both transfer elements (36, 38) of the right gear unit,
which do not form the drive.
