Powertrain for a Motor Vehicle, and Method for Operating a Powertrain

Abstract

A drive train (10) for a motor vehicle includes a dual-clutch assembly (14) with a first clutch (K1) and a second clutch (K2), which include a shared input element (EG). The dual-clutch assembly (14) is connectable to an internal combustion engine (12). The first clutch (K1) includes a first output element (AG1), and the second clutch (K2) includes a second output element (AG2). A first actuating unit (S1) is associated with the first clutch (K1), and a second actuating unit (S2) is associated with the second clutch (K2). A transmission arrangement (16) includes a first sub-transmission (32) and a second sub-transmission (34). An input shaft (24) of the first sub-transmission (32) is connected to the first output element (AG1), and an input shaft (26) of the second sub-transmission (34) is connected to the second output element (AG2). The second actuating unit (S2) is associated with the second clutch (K2) of the dual-clutch assembly (14) as well as with a gearshift clutch (C; E) of the first sub-transmission (32), and/or the first actuating unit (S1″) is associated with the first clutch (K1) of the dual-clutch assembly (14) as well as with a gearshift clutch (F) of the second sub-transmission (34).
