A hybrid drive for a motor vehicle comprising a first transmission input shaft for connecting to a first internal combustion engine, a second transmission input shaft, which is coaxial to the first transmission input shaft and connects to a first electric motor, a layshaft, a first gear shifting device connecting the first transmission input shaft and the second transmission input shaft in a first shifting setting and engaging a gear in a second shifting setting, and a transmission output shaft.

An actuator applies a reaction force to a pedal lever to be depressed by a human driver. The actuator includes an electric motor, a speed reducer mechanism, an actuator lever and an angle detector device. The speed reducer mechanism includes: a motor gear that rotates integrally with the electric motor; an output gear that rotate integrally with an output shaft; and an intermediate gear installed between the motor gear and the output gear. The actuator lever is driven by the output shaft and contacts the pedal lever. The angle detector device detects a rotational angle of the intermediate gear. The intermediate gear has: a large gear portion, which meshes with the motor gear; and a small gear portion, which meshes with the output gear. The small gear portion is integrally formed in one-piece with the large gear portion.

A vehicle includes a drive arrangement and a brake device. The drive arrangement has an electric drive machine for generating a driving torque for the vehicle, and a step-up gearing for stepping up the driving torque. The step-up gearing has a gearing input for receiving the driving torque and a gearing output for outputting a stepped-up driving torque in the direction of at least one driven wheel of the vehicle such that a driving torque path from the drive machine to the gearing output and/or to the at least one driven wheel is formed. The brake device can be brought into operative connection with the driving torque path in order to bring a braking torque along a braking torque path onto the at least one driven wheel. The brake device has a friction brake device with a temperature control fluid for lubricating and/or cooling the friction brake device.

A latch mechanism for a vehicle may comprise a fixed frame; a swivel frame disposed on a display module and having a driven rack formed on the swivel frame; a drive pinion engaged with the driven rack; and a drive source for rotating the drive pinion. A guide path may be formed in one of the fixed frame and the swivel frame. A guide pin guided along the guide path is disposed in the other of the fixed frame and the swivel frame. The swivel frame rotates around a virtual axis.

The present disclosure relates to a control unit for a vehicle, the vehicle being a full electric or a hybrid vehicle, the control unit including a communication interface and processing circuitry being coupled to the communication interface; the processing circuitry being adapted to receive, via the communication interface, a message from a remote control device to drive the vehicle a predefined distance, to command the gearbox to engage with the highest available ratio, to command the at least one electric motor in order to move the vehicle, to stop the motor when the vehicle has traversed the predefined distance, and to command to engage the at least one brake.
