Abstract
A hybrid vehicle transmission includes a first input shaft, a second input shaft, an output shaft, a plurality of input gears, a plurality of output gears and an input shaft coupling unit. The plurality of input gears are provided corresponding to a plurality of gear stages, and are each supported by the first input shaft or the second input shaft. The plurality of output gears are provided corresponding to the plurality of gear stages, and are supported by the output shaft. The input shaft coupling unit is configured to couple the first input shaft and the second input shaft while being capable of decoupling the first input shaft and the second input shaft.
