Abstract

A planetary gear train of an automatic transmission for a vehicle include: an input shaft; an output shaft; a first compound planetary gear set combining first and second planetary gear sets and firstly changing torque input through one input path and two variable input paths into six speeds; a second compound planetary gear set combining third and fourth planetary gear sets, secondly changing the six speeds a rotation speed of the input shaft input through one variable input path into eleven forward speeds and reverse speed, and finally outputting the changed rotation speed; and friction members including clutches interposed between two rotation shafts or between a rotation shaft and the input shaft, and brakes interposed between a rotation shaft and a transmission housing.
