FIELD: driving vehicles including battery-driven ones. SUBSTANCE: drive has adjustable emf source 1 and motor 2. Source 1 has converter 3 and generator 4 with their shafts joined through coupling 5 to form electromechanical unit of the motor-generator type. Part of energy picked off converter 3 is conveyed to storage battery 6 wherefrom power is supplied through switches 6 and 7 to field winding of generator 4 and to field winding 9 of motor 2. Power lead of generator 4 is connected via plus bus 10 and minus bus 11 to annular conductor 12 of motor 2. Conductor 12 and motor field winding 9 are placed in respective annular slots of magnetic core 13 coaxially with respect to the latter and rigidly fixed in position. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities, reduced loss, simplified design. 4 cl, 3 dwg
