An energy storage and recovery system device for a vehicle, comprising a flywheel, a first and a second set of gears, and multiple wet multi-plate clutches, wherein one of each gear set is arranged coaxially along a clutch shaft with one of the clutches, and wherein the device is coupled to the vehicle transmission, such that actuation of a clutch redirected the torque path via the gears, thereby enabling multiple ratios and therefore multiple speeds.
