  • Patent number: 7755248
    Abstract: Proposed is an integrated drive element (110) which is particularly suitable for use in an automatic shift transmission of a motor vehicle. The integrated drive element (110) has at least one electric motor (112), with preferably precisely two electric motors (112) being provided which can be used for example for a dual-clutch transmission. Also provided is at least one electronic engine control unit (114) which is designed for controlling the functionality of the at least one electric motor (112). Said electronic engine control unit (114) in turn has a housing (116). The at least one electric motor (112) spatially directly adjoins the housing (116) and/or is at least partially integrated into the at least one housing (116).
