Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A drive system for a hybrid drive in a motor vehicle is provided. The drive system includes a drive machine with a rotor and a stator; a planetary gear set with a sun gear, a ring gear and at least one planetary gear mounted on a planetary carrier; and a coupling system, by way of which at least one other drive machine can be coupled to the drive system. The ring gear can be connected to the rotor in order to transmit drive power and is arranged inside the rotor in the radial direction. In particular, the sun gear of the drive system is non-rotatably mounted in relation to the stator; the planetary carrier is configured as a transmission output shaft; and a power take-off shaft, which is concentric with the ring gear, can be connected to the planetary carrier and to the coupling system.
