Abstract

A drive system for a motor vehicle includes an electric machine arranged for driving a driveshaft of a drive unit and obtaining electrical energy during rotation of the driveshaft. The electric machine has a stator arrangement and a rotor arrangement which is connectable to the driveshaft for common rotation. The rotor arrangement is connectable to the driveshaft via an elastic connecting arrangement.
