Motor vehicle drive

A drive unit for a motor vehicle, comprising:

• an internal-combustion engine which is mechanically connectable to vehicle wheels via a traveling drive train for driving said vehicle;
• at least one electric machine which is operable alternatively as a starter for starting the internal-combustion engine and as a generator;
• a first drive path including a first clutch by which the electric machine can be alternatively uncoupled from, and connected in drive relationship with, the internal-combustion engine and the traveling drive train;
• and
• an auxiliary equipment drive path separate from said first drive path and from the traveling drive train, which auxiliary equipment drive path transmits mechanical drive force from the electric machine to at least one mechanically driven auxiliary device, by means of which the auxiliary device can be driven.
