A regenerative transmission including split parallel power paths, one being mechanical and the other having an infinitely variable hydrostatic transmission with the power paths being combined by a differential at the transmission output that is constructed to produce a zero output when the hydrostatic drive rotates the differential elements in a subtracting or negative direction at a predetermined speed. The transmission input and the output from the hydrostatic drive are connected through a summing differential to drive a flywheel that stores energy under static conditions and regenerates energy by (1) providing assist torque to the output shaft during acceleration, and (2) absorbing energy normally delivered at the output shaft during deceleration to assist in transmission braking.
