Abstract

A cooling system for an air cooled vehicle drive having a supercharged internal combustion engine, a transmission, a hydrodynamic brake (retarder), and a plurality of heat exchangers. The media which are to be cooled are at least partially in mutual heat exchange. Cooling oil or fluid ducts for the retarder or transmission oil and/or lubricating oil of the internal combustion engine pass entirely or at least partially through a supercharger intercooler or charging air cooler. The retarder or lubricating oil is cooled in a heat exchanger which is acted upon by cooling air.
