Abstract: On the basis of a predetermined three-dimensional vehicle environment model and of a second image, acquired at that time, of an image sequence, a corrected display image is determined. The vehicle environment model is determined based on at least a first image of the image sequence and includes an object detected in the first image that has a predetermined resultant absolute position and/or a predetermined resultant position with reference to the vehicle. The second image is acquired a predetermined period of time after the first image and includes the detected object. The corrected display image includes at least one graphic element which represents the detected object and is determined such that it is suitable for being projected onto a display area of the head-up display so as to be perceived by a viewer of the display area from a predetermined viewing position with direct reference to the actual environment of the vehicle.

The electric motor can be coupled to the first torque input in a torque-resistant manner, and the internal combustion engine can be coupled to the second torque input in a torque resistant manner, where the first torque input is connected to the first transmission device and the second torque input is connected to the second transmission device, both in a torque-resistant manner.

Abstract: A charging apparatus for a vehicle having an energy accumulator includes a charging socket with nine electrically assignable contacts by which the user of the vehicle may establish a charging connection independently of the type of charging supported by the charging source and the used plug.

Abstract: A vehicle having an internal combustion engine mounted in the vehicle such that a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine runs in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle is provided with a flexible drive is provided that comprises a wheel, in particular a pulley, which is arranged such as to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and which is arranged in front of the internal combustion engine when viewed in the direction of travel of the vehicle. The wheel has at least one weakened section which allows or facilitates a compression of the wheel in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle upon a head-on collision. In addition, the wheel may be arranged to cooperate with a recess in the front of the engine to permit further displacement of the wheel toward the engine during a collision.
