Abstract

The inventors' findings relate to a transmission for vehicles, comprising an input side configured for being coupled to a prime mover and an output side configured for being coupled to a driven element wherein the transmission comprises an electromagnetic torque converter (EMTC), wherein the EMTC has at least two output paths, namely the first output path coupled to a gear box which is preferably configured for being coupled to a drive shaft of the vehicle, and a second output path which is configured to be coupled to an auxiliary power provider. The inventors' findings also relate to a vehicle driveline comprising said transmission. Furthermore, the inventors' findings also relate to a vehicle comprising said vehicle driveline.
