Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hybrid drive of a motor vehicle having an automated manual transmission with two coaxial input shafts and a common output shaft. The input shafts are respectively driven by an engine and an electric machine and can couple the output shaft via respective groups of gearwheel sets. Each gearwheel set comprises a gear fixed to the associated input shaft and an idler gear supported by respective countershafts. At least two idler gears disposed on one of the two countershafts of two gearwheel sets, within the transmission, assigned to two different input shafts, can be coupled via a winding-path shift element, and the two output constants are disposed in a common radial plane by using a common output gear disposed on the output shaft.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A hybrid drive of a motor vehicle, which has an automated manual transmission ( 2 . 1 - 2 . 20 ) derived from a double clutch transmission ( 2 . 0 ) having two coaxially disposed input shafts (GE 1 , GE 2 ) and a common output shaft (GA), in which one of the two input shafts (GE 1 ; GE 2 ) of the hybrid drive is connectable to a drive shaft ( 3 ) of an internal combustion engine (VM) and is drivingly connectable with the output shaft (GA) via an associa…
