Abstract: A drive module assembly includes a housing defining a housing interior for containing a lubricant. The housing interior is further defined as a first housing interior and a second housing interior. The drive module assembly also includes a first input shaft configured to receive rotational torque from a first power source, a first gear train rotatably coupled to the first input shaft, a first output shaft rotatably coupled to the first gear train, a second input shaft configured to receive rotational torque from a second power source, a second gear train disposed rotatably coupled to the second input shaft, and a second output shaft rotatably coupled to the second gear train. The first housing interior and the second housing interior are fluidly separate from one another.

Abstract: A vehicle dual clutch transmission is provided which includes a first clutch housing driven along a first axis extending generally aligned with the output axis of an engine. A second clutch housing is provided which is chain driven from the first clutch housing and extends along a second generally parallel axis. First and second input shafts are respectively driven by the first and second clutches. An output shaft or shafts is provided that is driven by the input shafts and has selective meshed torsional force transferring gear contact therewith. A differential input gear is driven by the output shaft(s).
