Abstract: An electric machine comprising a rotor having a rotor shaft and a brush module having a brush holder with at least one brush for energizing the rotor, wherein the brush module comprises a shaft journal which can be coupled reversibly mechanically to the rotor shaft of the electric machine and against which the brush lies.

Abstract: A hybrid motor vehicle, having an internal combustion engine, an electric motor, an interior climate-control device, a catalytic converter assigned to the internal combustion engine with a catalytic heating device which is operable from a medium-voltage network at a first voltage, particularly 48 V, a high-voltage network to which the electric motor is connected, at a second voltage that is higher than the first voltage, a voltage converter for converting the second voltage into the first voltage, a heat exchange device for heating a temperature-control medium, which is circulating in a temperature-control circuit, of the interior climate-control device by waste heat from the internal combustion engine, and a control device for operating the catalytic heating device as a function of the operation of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A drive train for a motor vehicle has an electrical machine and a transmission, the drive shaft of which is coupled to the rotor of the electrical machine, wherein the drive train comprises a coupling device which is adapted to couple the drive shaft of the transmission to a power takeoff shaft of the transmission in order to block a rotation of the power takeoff shaft.
