Abstract
A hybrid vehicle (1) has an internal combustion engine (2), an electric machine (3) and a transmission (4) for driving a rear axle (5) of the vehicle (1). The internal combustion engine (2) and the electric machine (3) are assigned a common input shaft (6) of the transmission (4). The internal combustion engine (2), the electric machine (3) and a traction battery (19) for the electric machine (3) or a tank for the internal combustion engine (2) are arranged in a rear region of the vehicle (1), transversely with respect to the direction of travel. The electric machine power is greater than the power of the internal combustion engine (2). A high level of electrification of the hybrid drive is possible with optimum utilization of space in the vehicle.
