Abstract: A double clutch transmission is described that ideally changes torque received from an engine and a motor by providing an optimal layout in power transmission scheme and motor location. Such a double clutch transmission is optimally adapted to a hybrid electric vehicle, and an optimal operation method for such a double clutch transmission is also provided, overcoming inefficiency in application of a conventional CVT to an HEV.

Abstract: An exemplary automatic transmission of a hybrid vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a flywheel connected to an engine, a generator having a stator part and a rotor part, an input shaft connected with the rotor part, a hub coupled to an end of the input shaft, and a torsional damper connecting the flywheel with the hub, wherein the torsional damper includes a torsional spring and a plate, an end of the stator part is projected further toward the engine than an end of the rotor part and forms a projected portion, a vacant space is formed inside the projected portion, the plate is formed to be bent such that a mounting part mounted to the torsional spring is nearer to the generator than a mounting part mounted to the flywheel, and at least a part of the torsional spring is disposed in the vacant part.
