Zusammenfassung: | Two hybrid transaxles permit location of a traction motor in a more favorable location, decreasing the risk of occupant injury in a vehicle collision. Each transaxle uses a direction preserving power transfer mechanism to transfer power from the traction motor to a countershaft such that the countershaft rotates in the same direction as the traction motor. Each of the power transfer mechanisms permit more freedom of location for the traction motor axis than would be possible with a single gear pair or a mechanism that uses gearing on the input axis. |
