Propulsion arrangement for vehicles comprising a first machine (1) arranged as propulsion engine driven by combustion of a propellant and a second machine (11) arranged as alternative propulsion motor driven by means of electricity from a battery (22). The battery is arranged so as to be charged with current generated by the work of the first machine. The propulsion arrangement is designed to work alternatively in a first operational state with the first machine as drive source for vehicle operation and for generation of current for charging the battery and a second operational state in which the second machine functions as drive source for the vehicle with supply of current from the battery. The second machine (11) is so arranged that during the first operational state it acts as generator and is thereby driven by means of the first machine (1) during generation of the said current for charging up the battery (22). |
