Abstract

The present invention relates to a hybrid vehicle comprising a heat engine (11); an electrical generator (12) driven by the heat engine (11) and a transmission (13) which can connect the heat engine to a pair of driven wheels (19, 20) via a differential (18). An electric motor (14, ' 15) is associated with a respective wheel of the driven wheels (19, 20) and located wheel-side of the differential (18). The hybrid vehicle has a first operating mode in which the vehicle is driven solely by the electric motors (14, 15) associated with the driven wheels (19, 20) and the heat engine is either inactive or drives the electrical generator (12). The vehicle has a second operating mode in which the vehicle is driven both by the electric motors (14, 15) associated with the driven wheels (19, 20) and by the heat engine (11) driving the driven wheels (19, 20) through the transmission (13) and via the differential (18). Power from the engine (11) and the motors /14,15) may be delivered to the same wheels as to different wheels.
