Abstract
An electric driveline, comprising at least a first and a second electric machine, at least a first and a second output, and at least a first planetary gear set including three drivingly connected components including a sun gear, a planetary carrier and a ring gear. The first and the second electric machine are drivingly connected or connectable with the first and the second output via the first planetary gear set. At least one of the first and the second electric machine is selectively connected with the same one of the three components of the first planetary gear set via at least two different gear ratios, and/or the same one of the three components of the first planetary gear set is selectively connected with each of the first and the second output via at least two different gear ratios. The disclosure further concerns a method of operating an electric driveline.
