Abstract
A method and system for generating electrical power from a wheeled engine-driven vehicle. At least two hydraulic pumps are provided for pumping hydraulic fluid though respective hydraulic fluid outputs of the hydraulic pumps. A first one of the hydraulic pumps is driven by the engine of the vehicle and a second one of the hydraulic pumps is driven by one or more of the road-wheels of the vehicle. Hydraulic fluid pumped by the first and second hydraulic pumps is input in parallel to a hydraulic motor.
