A propulsion system includes an internal combustion engine predominantly operating in a steady-state mode and a driving engine operating in a transient mode, which act on the output shaft of a planetary gear train by first and second drive shafts. To obtain independent speed and torque values at the driven shaft, an additional transiently operating engine is provided which has a fixed r.p.m. ratio with the first drive shaft or the driven shaft of the planetary gear train. The two transient engines are configured as hydraulic engines or electric engines connected to a control device, a unit being provided for hydraulic or electric power flow between the two transient engines, which in turn is provided with an energy storage.
