Starting and driving unit for internal combustion engine of motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A driving and starting unit for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, comprising driving means;
- a switching transmission;
a coupling arrangeable between a drive shaft of the internal combustion engine and said switching transmission;
an electrical control device for receiving an outputting and switching signals for said driving means and said switching transmission, said switching transmission being formed as an automatic switching transmission, said driving means including a conventional starter and a starter/generator, said driving means being formed so that said driving means operate in dependence on sensed outer conditions so as to selectively activate one of said conventional starter, said starter/generator, and both said conventional starter and said starter/generator.
