Abstract

A device for a hydraulic wheel drive of a motor vehicle includes a wheel flange; a stub axle; and a rotary piston wheel drive configured and designed to introduce and receive a torque at the wheel flange. An active intervention of the rotary piston wheel drive is designed to be able to be switched on and decoupled. The present invention ensures that the vehicle can drive over rough tracks in the off-road sector. In addition the device can be engaged to recover braking force.
