Hybrid vehicle

A hybrid vehicle comprising an engine and an electric motor as a power source for driving a driven section via a transmission, the transmission comprising;

• a transmission input shaft which transmits power from the engine, and a transmission output shaft which outputs a power for driving the driven section;
• a twin clutch unit having a first clutch and a second clutch coaxially arranged with the transmission input shaft;
• a first input shaft which is connectable to the transmission input shaft via the first clutch and a second input shaft which is connectable to the transmission input shaft via the second clutch;
• gear trains configured to be switchable to connect each of the first input shaft and the second input shaft to the transmission output shaft;
• a first connection device which is capable of being selectively switched between a first operation state for enabling power transmission between an output shaft of the electric motor and the transmission input shaft, and a second operation state for interrupting the power transmission, and
• a second connection device which is capable of being selectively switched between a first operation state for enabling power transmission between the output shaft of the electric motor and the first input shaft or the second input shaft, and a second operation state for interrupting the power transmission,
• wherein the first input shaft and the second input shaft are arranged coaxially between the engine and the twin clutch unit, and are driven by the electric motor via the first connection device and the twin clutch unit.
