A method of operating a hybrid vehicle

The invention relates to a method for operating a hybrid vehicle, said hybrid vehicle having an engine and a first electric machine, which is associated with a common input shaft of a transmission, for driving a first axle of the hybrid vehicle and the hybrid vehicle, a second electric machine for driving a second axle of the hybrid vehicle having the hybrid vehicle further comprises a traction battery for the two electric motors, wherein the traction battery is rechargeable in a generator operation of the first electric machine. In such a method, the invention provides that the electrical machines have a greater overall power than the power of the engine, the first electric machine is operated in the generator mode in the operating state of the internal combustion engine exclusively drive the hybrid vehicle. The inventive method ensures a large electromotive range of the vehicle with a high degree of electrification.
