Abstract
The present patent consists of a vehicle equipped with a series of floating caterpillars that circulate on an ovoid rail, forming a continuous track; the male-female couplings between the traction caterpillars, their hydrodynamic locks and their direction system operate with the braking of one of the sides of the track and the slipping of the opposite track, being able to rotate through 360°. Said vehicle has the purpose of towing load barges on rivers or lakes. Due the absence of displacement, since the vehicle moves on the water, the performance is distinctly improved and the fuel consumption is considerably reduced in comparison with watercraft having an equivalent load-carrying capacity.
