A cooling system for an air cooled vehicle drive having a supercharged internal combustion engine, a transmission, a hydrodynamic brake (retarder), and a plurality of heat exchangers. The media which are to be cooled are at least partially in mutual heat exchange. Cooling oil or fluid ducts for the retarder or transmission oil and/or lubricating oil of the internal combustion engine pass entirely or at least partially through a supercharger intercooler or charging air cooler. The retarder or lubricating oil is cooled in a heat exchanger which is acted upon by cooling air.

1. A cooling system for an air cooled vehicle drive, which comprises: an internal combustion engine; a transmission operatively connected to said engine; a retarder operatively connected to said engine; a supercharger intercooler system operatively connected to said engine; ducts for conducting oil to and from said internal combustion engine, said transmission, and said retarder, some of said ducts passing at least partially through said supercharger intercooler system; and at least one air cooled heat exchanger for cooling oil for said retarder and said transmission, said supercharger intercooler system comprising a main cooler and a precooler, said oil ducts for said transmission and said retarder passing through said precooler, an additional oil cooler which follows said main cooler in the direction of flow of cooling air, and a controllable bypass which precedes said main cooler in the direction of flow of charging air. 2. A cooling system according to claim 1, which includes a structural unit comprised of said main cooler and said precooler, and shutoff devices respectively provided in said bypass and following said main cooler in the direction of flow of charging air. 3. A cooling system according to claim 2, in which said bypass is arranged in such a way that charging air switchable through said bypass is oriented to act upon a portion of said additional oil cooler parallel to cooling air.
