Abstract: A mobile diesel generator and propulsion system preferably includes a diesel engine, a vehicle platform, a generator with voltage inverter, a battery charging system, at least one storage battery, an AC voltage to DC voltage converter, a motor controller and an AC motor. The generator with voltage inverter is driven by the diesel engine. The battery charging system receives AC voltage from the generator with voltage inverter and outputs a DC voltage to charge the at least one storage battery. The AC voltage to DC voltage converter receives output from the generator with voltage inverter and outputs a DC voltage to the motor controller. The motor controller receives DC voltage output from either the AC voltage to DC voltage converter or the at least one storage battery and outputs AC voltage to the AC voltage motor. The AC voltage motor drives a rear wheel of the vehicle platform.
