Abstract

A hybrid module is configured for arrangement in the torque path upstream from a transmission and downstream from an internal combustion engine. The hybrid module includes a housing, an electric motor including a stator non-rotatably fixed to the housing and a rotor rotatable within the stator, a shaft configured for non-rotatably connecting to a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine and a clutch having a clutch output non-rotatably fixed to the rotor. The clutch is configured for being actuated between an engaged orientation for drivingly connecting the shaft to the clutch output and a disengaged orientation for drivingly disconnecting the shaft from the clutch output. The hybrid module also includes an actuator fixed to the housing. The actuator is configured for hydraulically actuating the clutch between the engaged orientation and the disengaged orientation.
