<p>A hybrid vehicle powertrain (1) including a transmission (7) and an internal combustion engine (3). A drive shaft (15) is provided for transferring torque from the internal combustion engine (3) to the transmission (7). An electric traction motor (5) is also drivingly coupled to the transmission (7).The electric traction motor (5) has an annular transverse cross-section and is disposed around the drive shaft (15). A clutch (21) is provided for selectively coupling the drive shaft (15) to said internal combustion engine (3). The clutch (21) has a clutch operating mechanism (37) radially inset from the electric traction motor (5). The clutch (21) can be a pull-type clutch (31). The invention also relates to a casing (10) for a hybrid vehicle powertrain (1).</p> |
