A transmission mechanism is provided with an output gear drivingly coupled to at least one of a pair of output members and placed coaxially with the pair of output members. A direction in which a rotating electrical machine and an inverter device are arranged side by side in an axial view is defined as a first direction. A direction perpendicular to both an axial direction and the first direction is defined as a second direction. A first output member that is one of the pair of output members is placed between the rotating electrical machine and the inverter device in the first direction, at a position in the second direction where both the rotating electrical machine and the inverter device are placed. The output gear is placed in such a manner as to overlap each of the rotating electrical machine and the inverter device in the axial view.

A driving source assembly includes: a prime mover including a driving shaft; a continuously variable transmission including a CVT case; a first gear that is between the prime mover and the CVT case and rotates together with the driving shaft; a second gear that is meshable with the first gear; an energy converter including a rotating shaft that rotates in association with the second gear; and a plate which is fixed to the prime mover and to which the energy converter is fixed. The first gear is between the plate and the CVT case. The CVT case includes a recess that defines an auxiliary accommodating space accommodating the first gear. The seal is between the recess and the plate.

A gear unit is described as having a first and a second housing part, an intermediate shaft of the gear unit being mounted via two bearings in a bushing accommodating the bearings, the bushing centering the first housing part against the second housing part.

A hybrid drive unit (HY, G) for a motor vehicle includes a housing (GG), in which a torque converter (TC) and an electric machine (EM) are accommodated. The electric machine (EM) and the torque converter (TC) are arranged directly next to each other such that the electric machine (EM) is arranged at a first face end (TC1) of the torque converter housing (TCG). An oil guide shell (LS) at least partially encompasses a section of the torque converter (TC). The oil guide shell (LS) has an L-shaped cross-section including a first section (LS1) and a second section (LS2) and is arranged in such that the first section (LS1) partially encompasses a second face end (TC2) of the torque converter housing (TCG) and the second section (LS2) partially encompasses a circumferential surface of the torque converter housing (TCG).

A drive train for an electric truck includes a gearbox and a gear box housing. The drive train further includes an output shaft extending in an axial direction across a wall of the gear box housing and powering a cardan shaft arranged outside of the gear box housing. At least one output gear is arranged inside of the gear box housing on the output shaft. At least a first and a second electric motor attached to the housing of the gearbox form a team of electric motors, wherein each electric motor includes a drive shaft extending parallel to the axial direction and being interconnected via an input gear to an output gear.

A torque load binder for changing tension in a chain or strap securing a load to a vehicle or support surface. The load binder includes a housing with an internal gear mechanism and a connector mechanism operatively engaged with the gear mechanism and extending outwardly from the housing. A high speed first driveshaft and a lower speed second driveshaft on the load binder are selectively individually actuated to effect movement between first and second end linkages of the connector mechanism. The first driveshaft effects movement between the first and second end linkages at a first speed and the second driveshaft effects movement between the end linkages at a lower second speed. Rotation of either of the first or second driveshafts actuates the connector mechanism, changing the distance between the first and second end linkages, and thereby changing the tension in the tie-down.

A power transmission device includes a first input shaft configured to input power from a first power source, a second input shaft configured to input power from a second power source, a first output shaft configured to transmit power to a first drive wheel, a second output shaft configured to transmit power to a second drive wheel, and a differential gear including, as three rotation elements, a first rotation element to which the second input shaft is connected, a second rotation element to which the second output shaft is connected, and a third rotation element to which the first input shaft and the first output shaft are connected, in which an engagement device configured to selectively connect any two of the three rotation elements is provided.

Methods and systems are provided for lubrication of a transmission. In one example, the transmission system may include a pair of shielded bearings attached to a first transmission shaft, each of the shielded bearings including at least one shield that forms a restriction between the shield and a race of the bearing and a cavity positioned axially between the pair of shielded bearings, wherein the restrictions tune lubricant pressurization in the cavity. The transmission system further includes a radial passage in the first transmission shaft in fluidic communication with the cavity and a lubricated transmission component.
