FIELD: engines and pumps.SUBSTANCE: automobile drive assembly includes internal combustion engine (1) connected to a driven shaft. There is waste heat utilisation system (5), by means of which at least some amount of waste heat is removed from internal combustion engine (1) and/or from exhaust gas outlet system (10) installed after internal combustion engine (1). At least some amount of waste heat is converted by means of thermally driven energy converter (4) to electric energy that is at least partially supplied at least to one additional consumer and/or to electric onboard network of the automobile. In addition to waste heat utilisation system (5) there provided is additional heat source (2) having the possibility of feeding thermally driven energy converter (4) with heat; at that, waste is removed from the cooling system cooling the internal combustion engine during operation.EFFECT: reduction of drive assembly components.14 cl, 4 dwg |
