Abstract
The invention provides a hybrid drive arrangement, particularly for a motor vehicle, having an internal combustion engine, a generator, a rectifier, an inverter, an energy accumulator connected to the direct current line between the rectifier and the inverter as well as a driving motor coupled to the inverter. A bypass line bridges the rectifier--direct-current line--inverter path, and a switching element is provided to couple the driving motor with the generator selectively by way of the rectifier--direct-current line--inverse rectifier path on the one hand, or the bypass line on the other.
