The power train of a motor vehicle employs a hybrid drive including a combustion engine and an electrical machine. The transmission of the power train is shiftable into different gears in dependency upon the operating conditions of the vehicle. Such conditions include a traction condition when the vehicle is propelled by the engine and/or by the electrical machine, a coasting condition when the vehicle is being decelerated with attendant conversion of kinetic energy into electrical and/or rotational energy and storage of converted energy, a cold starting condition when the cold engine is started by the electrical machine, and a warm starting condition when the hot engine is started by the electrical machine and/or by at least one flywheel.
A power train for moving a vehicle during different stages of operation, comprising:
A method of operating a power train during different stages of operation of a motor vehicle which embodies the power train, the power train comprising at least one combustion engine, at least one electrical machine connectable with the engine and arranged to function as a motor and as a generator, and at least one transmission which is interposed between the engine and at least one wheel of the vehicle and is shiftable into a plurality of gears in dependency upon the operating conditions of the vehicle, comprising the steps of:
A motor vehicle comprising a plurality of wheels and a hybrid power train for at least one of said wheels, said power train comprising an internal combustion engine, an electrical machine having a rotor connectable with said engine and arranged to operate as a motor and as a generator, and a transmission interposed between said engine and said at least one wheel and being shiftable into a plurality of gears in dependency upon operating conditions of the vehicle, said conditions including:
