A continuously active pressure accumulator power transfer system for a vehicle or the like comprises an engine (1), a pump (3) driven by the engine, a main pressure accumulator (5) maintained at a substantially constant fluid pressure and fluid volume by the pump during operation, a fluid motor (13) for propelling the vehicle which is supplied with driving fluid pressure from the pressure accumulator and auxiliary units (17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 37, 41) for operating the vehicle. The auxiliary units are also operated by fluid pressure from the pressure accumulator. The fluid motor(s) and the auxiliary units are operated directly by fluid pressure from the accumulator without any direct connection with the engine. |
