ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a starter unit (1) comprising an input (E) which may be coupled to a drive input, an output (A) which may he coupled to a drive output, a starter element (2) in the form of a hydrodynamic coupling (3), a switchable clutch (7), comprising at least two clutch elements, which may be brought into frictional engagement, either directly or indirectly, by means of further transfer agents, being a first clutch element (10) and a second clutch element (11) each rotationally fixed to the input (E) and the output (A) respectively. The hydrodynamic coupling (3) and the switchable clutch (7) are arranged in a parallel fashion in two power branches (8,9) and may be activated individually or in common.
