<p>A work machine in which the engine and power output system is to be contained within a minimal volume in an engine compartment (32). A gear housing (36) is mounted to and receives the output of the internal combustion engine (34) and has side by side gears (44, 46) meshing with a first input gear (42), one of which drives a generator (48) and the other drives an internal lubricant pump as well as an external hydraulic pump (64). The gears (42, 44, 46) are in substantially the same plane. The output of the generator (48) is connected via a controller (72) to a motor which drives a transmission system (30) for driving the wheels of the vehicle. The gear housing permits placement of additional components within the engine compartment (32) while taking up a minimum volume.</p> |
