A kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) 11 for a vehicle is provided. The KERS 11 is arranged to be connected between an energy storage flywheel and an output couplable to a powertrain of the vehicle. The KERS 11 further includes an energy transfer transmission including a power-split arrangement comprising a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) 6. The energy transfer transmission may also include an epicyclic gearset 5 and is provided between the input and the output of the KERS. The power-split arrangement between the CVT 6 and the epicyclic gearset 5 may comprise an input coupled shunt (Figure 1) or an output coupled shunt (Figure 2).
