Abstract
A tractor () comprises an internal combustion engine () for delivering torque, wheels (-) or tracks for imparting a propulsive force to the ground, and a power takeoff shaft () for delivering torque to implements attached thereto. The power takeoff shaft is driven by a mechanical drive connection to the engine. An electrical motor/generator () is drivingly connected to the engine, and at least one electrical motor (-) is arranged to deliver a propulsion force to the wheels or tracks. The motor is electrically connected to, and powered by, the electrical motor/generator. A battery () is connected to the electrical motor/generator and to the electrical motor so that electrical energy can be passed therebetween. The motor/generator can also operate as a motor so that the power takeoff shaft is at least partially powered by electrical energy from the battery.
