摘要

The vehicle has an electric machine (3) supplied by a main power source i.e. generator (7), and secondary power sources (8) comprised of supercapacitor module (11) and a battery module (12) and storing electric energy. The secondary power sources are provided with a kinetic energy storage module, and a connector is connected to an external power supply and has a socket electrically connected to the secondary power sources. An information network (20) provides information representative of states of the secondary power sources.
