摘要：A combination car system is made up from a first car (1) and a second car (101),both of which are capable of running independently. The first car (1) includes a pair offront wheels (3) by which it is driven, a pair of rear wheels (4), a first engine, and a firsttransmission which drivingly couples this first engine to the front wheels (3). The secondcar (101) includes a pair of front wheels (103), a pair of rear wheels (104) by which it isdriven, a second engine, and a second transmission (not shown), which drivingly couplesthis second engine to the rear wheels (104), and which is an automatic transmission whichcan be set to at least N, D, L, and R ranges according to the position of a switching valve.The first car and the second car are couplable together into a combination car (10) which

runs on the front wheels (3) of the first car and on the rear wheels (104) of the secondcar, the rear wheels (4) of the first car and the front wheels (103) of the second car beingat this time removed from road contact. At this time, an electrical connecting systemprovides control by a first electrical switching system (78-81) fitted in the first car to anelectrically operated servo device which positions the switching valve of the automatictransmission of the second car to any one of the above ranges. On the other hand, whenthe cars are running independently, at this time the electrical connecting system providescontrol by a second electrical switching system (178-181) fitted in the second car to thiselectrically operated servo device. Thus, when the cars are coupled together into thecombination car, the operation of the automatic transmission of the second car may becontrolled from the first car.
