ABSTRACT:
A drive system provides a smooth start for a vehicle and converts excess kinetic energy accompanying the difference in speed between the engine and the drive wheels occurring during starting into electrical energy for storage in a battery. The drive system includes a gearbox having at least a first gear element connected to an output shaft of an engine, a second gear element connected to a drive wheel of a vehicle and a third gear element for, by applying a braking torque to the third gear element, reducing the speed of rotation input from the first gear element and outputting it to the second gear element. An engaging element provides selective connection to any of the gear elements for mechanically connecting the output shaft of the engine to the drive wheel. The drive system further includes an electric rotary device connected to the third gear element, an accumulator, engine load detector for detecting engine load, speed detector for detecting the speed of at least one of the gear elements of the gearbox and for outputting a speed signal and a control unit.
