A machine 10 comprising a transmission system 50 coupled to a mechanical load 12 such as a crusher or material processing apparatus, an internal combustion engine 30 coupled to the mechanical transmission system 50, an electrical system comprising at least one motor-generator 42 coupled to the electrical system and to the mechanical transmission 50. In at least one mode of operation the electrical system delivers power to the motor-generator 42 to generate mechanical power and to deliver to the transmission system 50 to drive a mechanical load 12. The machine 10 is mobile comprising a wheel or track powered by an electrical motor 11 of the electrical system. A second mode of operation permits the engine 30 to deliver mechanical power to the motor-generator 42 via the transmission system 50 to generate electrical power and deliver to the electric motor 11. A third mode of operation is disclosed, the electrical system may be connectable to an external supply, such as a mains supply to deliver electric power to the motor generator 42, to generate mechanical power and drive the mechanical load.
