Abstract

A power transmitting apparatus for a vehicle includes: an electric supplementary drive unit; a torque converting device including a planetary gear set having a first rotation element connected to the electric supplementary drive unit, a second rotation element connected to an engine, and a third rotation element operated as an output element; an input device including a first input shaft connected to the third rotation element through one clutch and provided with an input gear thereon, and a second input shaft coaxial with the first input shaft without rotational interference, connected to the second rotation element through the other clutch, and provided with an input gear thereon; a direct coupling device selectively connecting two rotation elements among the first, second, and third rotation elements of the torque converting device so as to cause the torque converting device to become a direct-coupling state; and a speed output device.
