Abstract

A vehicle has a hybrid drive including an internal combustion engine and at least one electric motor. The hybrid drive has a charging device for generating an air flow. A charge air path guides the air flow from the charging device to the internal combustion engine. A charge air cooler is arranged in the charge air path between the charging device and the internal combustion engine. The hybrid drive has an electric battery for supplying electric power to the at least one electric motor. The effort involved in cooling the battery is reduced if the battery is incorporated into the charge air path between the charge air cooler and the internal combustion engine in such a way that the air flow can flow through and/or around it.
