[0002] my country has a vast forest coverage area with complex and varied terrain, and roads that are rugged, muddy, and prone to getting stuck in the mud. Tracked vehicles, if not maintained in time or interacting with tree roots and other debris, are prone to being dragged. Therefore, higher requirements are placed on the stability and safety of range-extended tracked multi-functional vehicles for forestry, as ordinary forestry motor vehicles are difficult to adapt to the complex terrain of forest areas.

[0003] With the continuous depletion of petroleum energy and the introduction of increasingly stringent emission regulations, new energy vehicles, as a mode of transportation with low emissions and low pollution, have received widespread attention from vehicle manufacturers. Developing new energy vehicles has become an urgent task for the automotive industry. Pure electric vehicles rely entirely on drive motors to propel the vehicle, drawing energy from the power grid, achieving zero fuel consumption and zero emissions. However, currently, due to limitations in the level of power batteries, the overall driving range is limited and cannot meet the daily needs of users. Applying this technology to forestry power vehicles would be insufficient to meet their operational requirements. Summary of the Invention
