Abstract

A hybrid transmission is for a motor vehicle provided with a heat engine and a main drive electric machine. The transmission includes two concentric input shafts connected to a crankshaft of the heat engine and to the electric machine with no disconnect clutch, an output shaft connected to wheels of the vehicle by a differential, and a shaft for transferring movement from an input shaft to the output shaft and for coupling the input shafts. The electric machine is arranged at the end opposite the input shafts relative to the heat engine.
