The concept of the hybrid driveline consists of a Diesel motor, an electrical motor (powered by a rechargable battery) and a continuous variable transmission. This research is part of a project of the Sonderforschungsbereich 365 Umweltfreundliche Antriebstechnik für Fahrzeuge (A. Kleimaier, U. Zoelch) (information only in German).
