Abstract

A dual clutch arrangement with an input shaft, with a first friction clutch, and with a second friction clutch. The input element of the first friction clutch is connected to the input shaft and the output element thereof is connected to a first output shaft. The input element of the second friction clutch is connected to the input shaft and the output element thereof is connected to a second output shaft. The output shafts are connectable to corresponding input shafts of a dual clutch transmission. An electric machine is connected to the first output shaft. The electric machine is arranged coaxially with the first friction clutch.
