Track for a vehicle

Abstract

A track for a vehicle having a plurality of wheels for driving the track on a terrain. The track has an endless elastomeric carcass having a wheel-facing side that is mountable onto the plurality of wheels, and a ground-facing side opposite the wheel-facing side. A plurality of elastomeric traction surfaces is positioned on the ground-facing side. Each of the traction surfaces has a first shape when the track is not mounted onto the plurality of wheels. A plurality of primary load distribution members is positioned transversely and distributed longitudinally in the carcass so as to distribute at least parts of downward wheel forces applied by at least one of the wheels when the track is being driven down onto the wheel-facing side of the carcass into the traction surfaces via flexion of the primary load distribution members.
