[0048] Based on any of the above solutions, the gearbox 4 is a two-speed AMT shift gearbox.

[0049] Alternatively, the gearbox 4 may also be a gearbox with other transmission routes.

[0050] In one specific example, a pure electric four-wheel drive tractor has a rated power of 200 horsepower. The battery pack 6 uses a high-energy power battery pack and adopts a four-motor solution, including a PTO drive motor 3, two traction drive motors 2 and a hydraulic power motor 1, to achieve complete decoupling of the vehicle's drive power and PTO output power.
