  • Patent number: 9933047
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a planetary gear train of an automatic transmission for a vehicle having advantages of improving power transfer performance and fuel efficiency by implementing ten forward speeds and one reverse speed. The planetary gear train includes: first, second, third, and fourth planetary gear sets disposed on the same shaft line; an input shaft; an output shaft; eight shafts connected to the respective rotational elements of the first, second, third, and fourth planetary gear sets; four clutches and two brakes which are control elements; and a transmission housing H. With this arrangement, rotation power from an engine which is input from the input shaft is shifted by a mutual complementing operation between the first, second, third, and fourth planetary gear sets, and is then output through the output shaft.
