PCT No. PCT/JP93/00280 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 10, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 10, 1994 PCT Filed Mar. 5, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/17890 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 16, 1993.A braking and auxiliary driving unit for an internal combustion engine which produces braking and auxiliary motive power by converting electrical energy in both directions between a polyphase AC circuit of a squirrel-cage polyphase induction machine linked to the rotary shaft of the internal combustion engine and the DC circuit of an electricity storage means, the electricity storage means comprises an electrostatic capacitive circuit. A low-voltage storage battery is provided in addition to this electrostatic capacitive circuit, and this can be coupled to the electrostatic capacitive circuit by a bidirectional DC-to-DC converter.
