ABSTRACT:
A hybrid hydraulic power transmission system for all terrestrial's vehicles comprises a prime mover and an accumulator which could also be used as the main load bearing full or partial frame for all those vehicles. A hydraulic power integrator is operatively connected to the prime mover and the accumulator and selectively able to draw power for the vehicle from the prime mover, the accumulator, or a combination thereof.
