Variable ratio transmission for distributing a drive torque to at least two output shafts

A variable-ratio transmission for distributing drive torque, the variable-ratio transmission comprising:

• a differential having a drive input which drives first and second differential output shafts, the first and the second differential input shafts each comprise a sun gear that is continuously connected thereto, the first and the second differential output shafts are coaxially aligned along first rotational axis,
• a web comprising two pinions that are continuously connected thereto, a first of the two pinions of the web directly engages the sun gear of the first differential output shaft and a second of the two pinions of the web directly engages an inner sun gear, the web is connected to a rotor of an electric motor;
• a countershaft is aligned along an axis that is radially offset from and parallel to the first rotational axis, the countershaft comprises pinions that are continuously connected to the countershaft at axially opposite ends thereof, one of the pinions of the countershaft directly engages the sun gear of the second differential output shaft and the other of one of the pinions of the countershaft directly engages the second of the two pinions of the web;
• and
• the first differential output shaft axially extends from one side of the differential toward the web and the electric motor and the second differential output shaft axially extends from an opposite side of the differential away from the web and the electric motor.
