Drive unit for a vehicle

A drive unit for a vehicle, comprising

• a first electrical machine;
• a second electrical machine arranged axially parallel to the first electrical machine;
• a manual gearbox arranged axially parallel to the first and second electrical machines and having several gears and at least a first planetary gear set, which has a first sun shaft, a first hollow gear shaft, and a first web shaft;
• a differential with one differential input shaft and two differential output shafts;
• a drive shaft configured for connecting the first electrical machine to the manual gearbox;
• an output shaft configured for connecting the manual gearbox to the differential;
• a first positive-locking shift unit having a first shift element, a second shift element and a first sliding sleeve which is displaceable by means of a first actuator into a respective one of three shift positions;
• wherein in a first shift position of the first sliding sleeve the first shift element is closed and the second electrical machine is connected to a shaft of the first planetary gear set with an actuating effect;
• wherein, in a second shift position of the first sliding sleeve, both of the first and second shift elements are open and the second electrical machine is decoupled from the manual gearbox;
• wherein in a third shift position of the first sliding sleeve, the second shift element is closed and the second electrical machine is connected to the drive shaft with an actuating effect;
• wherein the first electrical machine is connected to the drive shaft via a first spur gear stage and a second spur gear stage;
• wherein the second electrical machine can be connected to a shaft of the first planetary gear set or to the drive shaft via a third spur gear stage and a fourth spur gear stage;
• and
• wherein the first shift unit is arranged radially nested with the first spur gear stage and the third spur gear stage.
