Abstract
A crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, which is supported with freedom to rotate around an axis of rotation , can be connected by a first clutch to a flywheel , which is also supported with freedom to rotate around the axis of rotation . In addition, the flywheel can be connected by a second clutch to a transmission shaft , also supported with freedom to rotate around the axis of rotation . The flywheel is provided with at least one permanent magnet and thus forms the rotor of a crankshaft starter-generator. The pole fields of the permanent magnets can be moved past the stator coil of a stator of the crankshaft starter-generator, this coil being mounted on a stationary component. Each of the first and the second clutches has its own separately operated actuating means and can be engaged and disengaged either independently of each other or in common.
