Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for operating a vehicle/trailer unit, an appropriately designed vehicle/trailer unit, as well as a towing vehicle and an implement for such a vehicle/trailer unit, with the vehicle/trailer unit having a towing vehicle and an implement. The towing vehicle has a combustion engine and a first machine that can be operated as a prime mover, as well as a first axle that can be driven by means of the combustion engine, with it being possible for the combustion engine to be driven by means of the first machine. The implement has a second machine that can be operated as a work machine and a second axle that is mechanically coupled with the second machine. When the vehicle/trailer unit is in overrun mode and/or braking mode, the vehicle/trailer unit can be operated in a first operating mode in which the second machine is operated as a work machine and driven by means of the mechanical kinetic energy of the second axle, while the first machine is operated as a prime mover and drives the combustion engine, with it being possible for at least a portion of the energy generated by the second machine to be utilized to drive the first machine.
