Abstract: A drive system for a hybrid vehicle having an internal combustion engine includes an electric motor and a clutch device which has a frictional locking element and a positive locking element that is connected parallel to the frictional locking element. The clutch device is configured to couple the internal combustion engine into the drive system and to be switched into at least the following states: a) open positive locking element and closed frictional locking element when starting and/or synchronization of the internal combustion engine, b) closed positive locking element and closed frictional locking element or closed positive locking element and open frictional locking element when the internal combustion engine is running and synchronized such that an internal combustion engine drive output action is generated, and c) open positive locking element and open frictional locking element when the internal combustion engine is stopped such that purely electric motor drive of the vehicle is provided.

Abstract: A clutch having a pressure plate (1) and a counter plate (16) is provided, with the pressure plate being displaceable by a clutch actuating mechanism such that a clutch disk can be clamped between the pressure plate and counter plate. The pressure plate is a multi-piece pressure plate having a central body (1) which includes a friction surface and on which at least one connecting element (5) is located, which protrudes beyond the friction surface and is connected to the clutch actuating mechanism for burst optimization and cost savings purposes.
