ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine engine for vehicles in which an infinitely variable transmission in the form of a hydraulic transmission is coupled to the engine. A flywheel stores and releases braking energy, and has a disengageable coupling connecting the flywheel with the variable transmission to at least one wheel drive shaft. The hydraulic transmission has a pump unit and a motor unit which are hydraulically operable. The pump unit and motor unit are reversible for braking the vehicle, whereby the motor is driven by the wheels of the vehicle and operates as a pump, and the pump unit operates as a motor.
