Abstract
A drive system, in particular for a vehicle, includes an electric machine, by means of which a shaft can be driven to rotate and/or electrical energy can be obtained when the shaft rotates. The electric machine includes a stator arrangement with a stator interaction region and a rotor arrangement with a rotor interaction region. The rotor interaction region is coupled or can be coupled to the shaft for common rotation by means of a carrier arrangement. A torsional-vibration damper arrangement includes which is formed at least in part by said carrier arrangement, a primary side and a secondary side which can rotate, counter to the action of a damper element arrangement, about an axis of rotation (A) with respect to the primary side.
