    Abstract: A hybrid vehicle has an internal combustion engine and an electric engine. A drive arrangement for the vehicle has a crankshaft-side clutch part rigidly connected to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine, and the crankshaft-side clutch part may be coupled to a drive train shaft-side clutch part via a clutch. The clutch part on the drive train shaft side is mechanically connected to a drive train shaft via at least one element for torsional vibration isolation. The drive train shaft is configured at least partially as a rotor of the electric engine. The crankshaft-side clutch part, the clutch and the drive train shaft-side clutch part form at least one part of the primary mass of a dual-mass flywheel. The drive train shaft forms at least one part of the secondary mass of the dual-mass flywheel.
