Electric hybrid transmission with a torque converter

摘要

A torque converter disposed between a motor/generator and an internal combustion engine during the engine starting procedure and between the motor/generator and a multi-speed transmission as well as between the engine and a multi-speed transmission during vehicle travel. A pair of selectively engageable clutches and a one-way device are incorporated to accomplish the engine start power path, the normal torque converter power path and a converter bypass power path.
