Electrodynamic drive system

Abstract

An electrodynamic drive system (2) for a vehicle between a drive engine (4) and a manual transmission (16) comprising a planetary transmission (12) with the three elements sun gear (50), internal gear (10) and planet carrier (32), of which a first element (32) is connected to the manual transmission (16), a second element (10) is connected to the drive engine (4), and a third element (50) is connected to at least one electrical engine (22). A clutch (40) is provided with a first shift position, in which a rigid connection exists between the planet carrier (32) and the sun gear (50) for bridging the planetary transmission (12), and a second shift position in which the connection between the planet carrier (32) and the sun gear (50) is interrupted. The clutch (40) is provided with a third shift position, in which a rigid connection exists between the sun gear (50) and a stationary component of the housing (14), whereby a reduction in the speed of the drive engine (4) that corresponds to the transmission ratio of the planetary transmission (12) is achieved.
