Abstract

In one example, an assembly is provided comprising a transmission at least partially enclosed in a housing. The transmission includes a planetary gear set coupled to a multispeed sub-transmission. The planetary gear set is configured to be coupled to a first electric machine and an internal combustion engine on a first side, and configured to be coupled to a second electric machine on a second side, where the first side and the second are defined by a vertical plane that is perpendicular to a central axis of rotation of the planetary gear set. The first electric machine, the second electric machine, and the internal combustion engine are arranged outside of the housing.
