A power transmission system, particularly a hydrostatic-mechanical power transmission system for industrial and farming vehicles and the like, comprising a first train of constantly meshed gears which are adapted to selectively connect, through a first pair of clutch units, the prime mover (of the vehicle) to a hydrostatic pump and/or to a hydrostatic motor; and a second train of gears which are adapted to selectively connect, through a second pair of clutch units, the hydrostatic motor or the pump to the output shaft, thus providing a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) known in the art as I2. A mechanical transmission with two or more speed ratios is provided downstream of the hydrostatic transmission and, in addition to duplicating the speed interval of the hydrostatic unit several times, it allows to provide, one or more times, two purely mechanical speed ranges by alternately closing one of the first pair of clutch units and the contiguous clutch unit of the second pair and then closing the other two. When the second clutch unit of the first pair is also closed under mechanical power transmission, a hydrostatic braking condition is produced which can be modulated by adjusting the displacements of the hydrostatic pump and of the hydrostatic motor, which are rotated simultaneously.
