Other Post Ahed 8x8

The AHED8x8 advanced hybrid electric drive technology demonstrator
introducing several enabling technologies expected to become the
foundation of future vehicle design. The vehicle will be equipped with a
536hp engine, augmented by electrical power burst delivering up to 850 hp
for 30 – 60 second bursts. The application of in-hub electric motor drive
and hybrid power enables high flexibility of design, especially with low
profile vehicles. AHED uses air suspension to enable adjustable height and
attitude control changing the ground clearance from 13 to 58 cm (5-23
inches), depending on operational requirement and terrain. This feature and
the use of all wheel 8x8 drive are contributing to the impressive cross-
country mobility of the vehicle. Mobility is further enhanced with the use of
wheel and track hybrid steering offering different steering modes for
fast-road and slow and off-road travel. With differential (track) steer,
AHED could take a tight turn at 33% tighter than a LAV III. Since all
wheels are controlled independently, the vehicle could also use pivot
turning, when stationary (turn like a tank).

An Old Seabee EO wants to know...

Thi is a NEET PIECE of equipment...How do you steer it? Lever actuation... trak; articulated steering...or a combination of both!???

So is the steering controlled by the "in hub electric motors" or by more conventional means?
