The disclosure is concerned with control system and control method, for a vehicle including a driving power source, drive wheels, a first clutch, and a second clutch. An electronic control unit, which is included in the control system, places the first clutch in a half-engaged state with a predetermined clutch torque capacity, when the vehicle is started, performs start control in a first mode using the second clutch, by gradually increasing a clutch torque capacity of the second clutch from a released state, and switches the start control from the first mode using the second clutch to a second mode using the first clutch, when the increased clutch torque capacity of the second clutch reaches the clutch torque capacity of the first clutch.

A power transmission device has a back torque transmission cam that brings driving clutch plates 6 and driven clutch plates 7 into press contact with each other. A second clutch member 4b is moved when a rotational force is input to a first clutch member 4a via the output shaft 3. The pressure member 5 is located at a non-actuation position. A torque transmission portion transmits a rotational force transmitted to the second clutch member 4b to the first clutch member 4a not via the back torque transmission cam.

A power transmission device has a back torque transmission cam that brings driving clutch plates 6 and driven clutch plates 7 into press contact with each other. This occurs by moving a second clutch member 4b when a rotational force is input to a first clutch member 4a, via the output shaft 3. A pressure member 5 is located at a non-actuation position. A back torque transmission cam can hold abutment between an interlocking member 9 and weight member 8 by moving the second clutch member 4b in a direction of being brought into proximity to the interlocking member 9.

A drive train unit for a vehicle includes a housing, an input shaft rotatably mounted in the housing and arranged for rotationally fixed attachment to an output of a transmission, a first clutch operable between a rotor of an electric machine and the input shaft, and a coolant delivery device integrated in the housing. The coolant delivery device is arranged to generate a coolant circuit from the input shaft outwardly in a radial direction when the input shaft is rotated. The coolant delivery device has a discharge element for deflecting coolant flowing in a circumferential direction into a channel inwardly in the radial direction. The drive train unit may include the electric machine with the rotor. The drive train may have an output shaft and a second clutch operable between the input shaft and the output shaft.

A differential can comprise a pilot clutch, a main clutch, a first ball ramp configured to act on the pilot clutch, and a second ball ramp configured to actuate the main clutch when the pilot clutch acts on the second ball ramp. An electromagnetic differential can comprise a carrier, a stator mounted on the carrier, a pilot clutch in the carrier, and a main clutch in the carrier. An electromagnetic differential can comprise a carrier and a first side gear and a second side gear in the carrier. A pilot clutch can be in the carrier surrounding a portion of the first side gear. A main clutch can be in the carrier surrounding a portion of the pilot clutch and surrounding a portion of the first side gear.

A shifting system includes an input member, a disconnect, an output member, and a shifting assembly to selectively rotationally couple the input member and the output member. The shifting assembly includes an input hub having a disconnectable component engageable with the disconnect and a clutch engagement component extending radially away from an axis. A plurality of clutch plates is coupled to the clutch engagement component and is moveable between engaged and disengaged positions. A biasing member is coupled to the clutch plates to bias the clutch plates toward the engaged position, and an apply plate is coupled to the biasing member. The apply plate is moveable between a first plate position where the clutch plates are in the engaged position, and a second plate position where the clutch plates are in the disengaged position. A clutch plate carrier is coupled to the clutch plates and to the output member.

A clutch system for coupling a drive shaft of a motor vehicle engine to a transmission input shaft of a motor vehicle transmission is disclosed. The clutch system includes a friction clutch for transmitting a torque between a torque-introducing element and a torque-discharging element. The system includes a ramp system for the axial displacement of a pressure plate of the friction clutch, wherein the ramp system has an input ramp and an output ramp, which can be turned in relation to the input ramp to change an axial extent of the ramp system. A pilot clutch for actuating the ramp system based on a differential speed between the torque-introducing element and the torque-discharging element is provided. The clutch system further includes an electromagnet for the magnetic actuation of the pilot clutch, wherein the pilot clutch is arranged between the friction clutch and the electromagnet in the axial direction and the ramp system is arranged radially on the inside in relation to the pilot clutch and/or in relation to the friction clutch.
