Method for propelling a vehicle as well as drive unit

摘要

A vehicle ( 1 ) has an epicyclic gearing ( 3 ) with three rotational members ( 5, 7, 9 ). Rotational member ( 9 ) is connected to a load formed by the wheels ( 17 ) of a vehicle. Rotational member ( 5 ) is connected to a flywheel ( 11 ) and rotational member ( 7 ) is connected to an engine ( 13 ). The vehicle ( 1 ) furthermore comprises a transmission-unit ( 19 ), embodied either as a conventional or as a automated manual transmission-unit, with two in/outputs ( 21, 23 ). In/output ( 21 ) is connected to the rotational member ( 7 ) and in/output ( 23 ) is connected to the third rotational member ( 9 ). A force-closed clutch ( 25 ) with slip capacity is located between in/output ( 21 ) and rotational member ( 7 ). With this transmission-system, the wheels ( 17 ) remain driven by the engine ( 13 ), also during disengagement of the clutch ( 25 ).
