Abstract: A hybrid drive unit for installation between an internal combustion engine and a vehicle transmission in a motor vehicle. The hybrid drive unit has an electric machine operable, alternatively, as a motor and a generator and having at least one stator and one rotor, the rotor having bearings on a transmission side and on an internal combustion engine side. One set of bearings is provided on the transmission side and, on the internal combustion engine side, the hybrid drive unit is supported on the crankshaft bearings of the internal combustion engine. A non-rotary connection can be established, for example, by means of a flexplate or a torsional vibration damper, between the rotor of the electric machine and the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine. Before the rotor is connected to the crankshaft, the rotor is supported on bearings on the transmission side.

Abstract: A drive train (1) of a hybrid vehicle having one internal combustion engine and one transmission (3), between the internal combustion engine and the transmission (3), at least one electric machine (7) with one stator (8) and one rotor (9) is situated wherein the rotor (9) can be connected by at least one friction clutch with a crankshaft (4) of the internal combustion engine and/or with an input shaft (16) of the transmission (3) and/or with a third shaft in which the rotor (9) is firmly connected with a rotor carrier (24) which supports component parts of the clutch on its radial inner side. The drive train is to be developed so that at least one wet-running clutch, actuatable by pressure medium, is situated so that it is very compactly designed and allows an active cooling of both the clutch discs and of the rotor carrier.
