Motor vehicle i.e. passenger car, has energy storage for storing electrical energy, and on-board supply system comprising generator e.g. thermoelectrical generator, supplied with fuel for generating electrical energy

摘要

The vehicle has an internal-combustion engine (12) e.g. petrol engine, for driving a vehicle. An on-board supply system (10) supplies electrical energy to an electrical load (14), and comprises a generator (22) that is propelled by the internal-combustion engine for generating electrical energy. An electrical starter (16) starts the internal-combustion engine. An energy storage (24) i.e. rechargeable battery, stores the electrical energy. The on-board supply system comprises another generator (30) e.g. thermoelectrical generator, supplied with fuel for generating electrical energy.
