Transmission system for use in a vehicle

A transmission system for use in a vehicle, said transmission system comprising:

• a transmission housing;
• a countershaft having no less than two gears, with said gears defining a plurality of gear ratios;
• a module housing coupled to said transmission housing, with said module housing defining a module housing interior;
• a first output shaft rotatably coupled to said countershaft;
• a second output shaft rotatably coupled to said countershaft;
• a first clutch disposed in said module housing interior, with said first clutch being configured to selectively rotatably couple said first output shaft to said countershaft to deliver rotational power to said countershaft;
• a second clutch disposed in said module housing interior, with said second clutch being configured to selectively rotatably couple said second output shaft to said countershaft to deliver rotational power to said countershaft;
• and
• an electric machine comprising a rotor and a stator, with said electric machine being configured to deliver rotational power to at least one of said first and second output shafts to deliver rotational power to said countershaft;
• wherein said countershaft is rotatably coupled to either of said first and second output shafts for all of said gear ratios.
