Abstract
A vehicle power plant comprising a number of engine working cylinders arranged in two groups with different numbers of cylinders and/or with different power outputs, the parts being individually connectable to a common power take-off shaft by a continuously variable belt transmission. A gearing, including a reverse step, is mounted with its axes of rotation parallel to the crank shafts of the engines and connects the belt transmission to the vehicle output shaft. This vehicle power plant produces good fuel economy, high top power output, low exhaust emissions, and good acceleration capacity.
