  • Drive unit for a motor vehicle, motor vehicle, and method for operating a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 10400877
    Abstract: Drive device for a motor vehicle, includes a differential for distributing a torque that can be supplied via a drive shaft to two output shafts and a superimposition gear coupled with the differential one of the output shafts and an additional motor for superimposing torques supplied from the output shaft, from the differential and from the additional motor, wherein the differential is coupled via a torque reducing transmission ratio device with the superimposition gear, wherein the superimposition gear includes a switching device that can be controlled with a control device, wherein the superimposition gear superimposes in a first switching mode torques supplied to the switching device from the output shaft.

  • Final drive for a motor vehicle and final drive device
    Patent number: 10336178
    Abstract: A final drive for a motor vehicle. A drive assembly having a drive shaft, the drive shaft is coupled via a gear stage to an output shaft of the final drive. The drive shaft is coupled to the gear stage via an intermediate shaft that is arranged offset with respect to it. The intermediate shaft is present on a first side of a conceptual plane that incorporates an axis of rotation of the drive shaft, and a power electronics unit is electrically connected to the drive assembly via connection terminals arranged at its front end on a second side of the plane, which lies opposite to the first side.
