A drive system for a vehicle comprises two electrical machines arranged between a combustion engine and an input shaft to a gearbox. The first electrical machine rotor is connected with a planetary gear component, and the input shaft of the gearbox is connected with another planetary gear component. The second electrical machine rotor is connected via a transmission with the output shaft of the combustion engine, which is connected with another planetary gear component. A first locking means may be moved between a locked position, wherein the planetary gear's components rotate at the same rotational speed, and a release position wherein the components rotate at different rotational speeds. A second locking means may be moved between a locked position, and a release position wherein the output shaft of the combustion engine is locked in the locked position and disconnected in the release position with said additional planetary gear component.
A drive system for a vehicle, wherein the drive system comprises an output shaft in a combustion engine, an input shaft of a gearbox, a first electrical machine comprising a stator and a rotor, a planetary gear comprising three components in the form of a sun wheel, a ring gear and a planetary wheel carrier, wherein the output shaft of the combustion engine is connected with a first of said components in the planetary gear, so that a rotation of such shaft leads to a rotation of such first of said components, wherein the input shaft of the gearbox is connected with a second of said components of the planetary gear, so that a rotation of such shaft leads to a rotation of such second of said components, and wherein the rotor of the electrical machine is connected with a third of said components in the planetary gear, so that a rotation of the rotor leads to a rotation of such third of said components, wherein the drive system also comprises a first locking means, which may be moved between a locked position in which two of said components are locked together, so that the three components rotate with the same rotational speed, and a release position in which the components are allowed to rotate at different rotational speeds, wherein the drive system comprises a second electrical machine with a stator and a rotor, connected via a transmission with the output shaft of the combustion engine and eccentrically arranged in relation to such shaft, and a second locking means, which may be moved between a locked position in which the combustion engine's output shaft is locked to said first of said components, and a release position in which the combustion engine's output shaft is disconnected from said first of said components.
