A vehicle comprises a combustion engine, an electric machine, a front axle with front driving wheels, a rear axle with rear driving wheels, at least one electric module, at least one primary power transmission device and at least one secondary power transmission device. The electric machine is connected across the at least one primary power transmission device to at least one driving wheel of a first one of the two axles or separated from the at least one driving wheel of the first one of the two axles. The combustion engine is connected across the at least one primary power transmission device to at least one driving wheel of a second one of the two axles or separated from the at least one driving wheel of the second one of the two axles. The electric machine is connected across the at least one secondary power transmission device to the combustion engine or separated from the combustion engine. Two energy transfer functions are carried out for the vehicle, wherein the electric machine in the energy transfer functions is separated by the at least one primary power transmission device from the at least one driving wheel and it is connected by the at least one secondary power transmission device to the combustion engine, wherein a generator operation is carried out by the electric machine when carrying out a first energy transfer function, wherein mechanical energy of the operating combustion engine is transformed into electrical energy by the electric machine and provided to the at least one electric module, and wherein a motor operation is carried out by the electric machine when carrying out a second energy transfer function, wherein electric energy from the at least one electric module is transformed into mechanical energy by the electric machine and provided to the combustion engine.
A method for operating a vehicle including a combustion engine, a first drive shaft, a second drive shaft, a first electric machine selectively coupled to the first drive shaft and coupled to the second drive shaft, a second electric machine selectively coupled to the second drive shaft, a front axle with front driving wheels, a rear axle with rear driving wheels, at least one electric module, at least one primary power transmission device, and at least one secondary power transmission device, wherein the at least one primary power transmission device, in operation, is closed and opened, wherein the at least one secondary power transmission device, in operation, is closed and opened, wherein the at least one primary power transmission device selectively connects the first electric machine to at least one of the driving wheels of a first one of the front axle and the rear axle while the at least one primary power transmission device is closed and separates the first electric machine from the at least one of the driving wheels of the first one of the front axle and the rear axle while the at least one primary power transmission device is open, wherein the at least one primary power transmission device selectively connects the combustion engine and the second electric machine to at least one driving wheel of a second one of the front axle and the rear axle while the at least one primary power transmission device is closed and separates the combustion engine and the second electric machine from the at least one of the driving wheels of the second one of the front axle and the rear axle while the at least one primary power transmission device is open, and wherein the at least one secondary power transmission device selectively connects the first electric machine to the combustion engine while the at least one secondary power transmission device is closed and separates the first electric machine from the combustion engine while the at least one primary power transmission device is open, the method comprising:
A system for operating a vehicle including a combustion engine, a first drive shaft, a second drive shaft, a first electric machine selectively coupled to the first drive shaft and coupled to the second drive shaft, a second electric machine selectively coupled to the second drive shaft, a front axle with front driving wheels, a rear axle with rear driving wheels, at least one electric module, at least one primary power transmission device, and at least one secondary power transmission device, wherein the at least one primary power transmission device, in operation, is closed and opened, wherein the at least one secondary power transmission device, in operation, is closed and opened, wherein the at least one primary power transmission device selectively connects the first electric machine to at least one of the driving wheels of a first one of the front axle and the rear axle while the at least one primary power transmission device is closed and separates the first electric machine from the at least one of the driving wheels of the first one of the front axle and the rear axle while the at least one primary power transmission device is open, wherein the at least one primary power transmission device selectively connects the combustion engine and the second electric machine to at least one of the driving wheels of a second one of the front axle and the rear axle while the at least one primary power transmission device is closed and separates the combustion engine and the second electric machine from the at least one of the driving wheels of the second one of the front axle and the rear axle while the at least one primary power transmission device is open, and wherein the at least one secondary power transmission device selectively connects the first electric machine to the combustion engine while the at least one secondary power transmission device is closed and separates the first electric machine from the combustion engine while the at least one primary power transmission device is open, the system comprising:
