  • Patent number: 10688858
    Abstract: A transmission arrangement for a hybrid vehicle has an internal combustion engine and an electric machine. A first drive torque of the internal combustion engine and a second drive torque of the electric machine are transmissible to at least one drive shaft of the hybrid vehicle by the transmission arrangement. The transmission arrangement comprises a first planetary transmission with first components including a first sun gear, first ring gear and first planet carrier. A third drive torque is transmissible to a second planet carrier of a second planetary transmission by the first planet carrier. The second planetary transmission has second components including a second planet carrier, second sun gear and third sun gear. The second sun gear meshes with a first toothing of a second planet gear. The third sun gear meshes with a second toothing of the second planet gear. A drive shaft of the hybrid vehicle is driveable by the third sun gear.

  • Patent number: 10052950
    Abstract: In a differential that is part of a selectively disconnectable or connectable secondary powertrain, a clutch device allows the input member of the differential, via which driving power is introduced into the differential, to be uncoupled from the output members to which the driving power is forwarded in a branched manner in order to be able to completely shut off part of the secondary powertrain in the disconnected state.
