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 transmission system includes a transmission housing and a countershaft having no less than two gears, with the gears defining a plurality of gear ratios. The transmission system also includes a module housing, a first output shaft rotatably coupled to the countershaft, and a second output shaft rotatably coupled to the countershaft. The transmission system further includes a first clutch configured to selectively rotatably couple the first output shaft to the countershaft. The transmission system also includes a second clutch configured to selectively rotatably couple the second output shaft to the countershaft. The transmission system further includes an electric machine configured to deliver rotational power to at least one of the first and second output shafts to deliver rotational power to the countershaft. The countershaft is rotatably coupled to either of the first and second output shafts for all of the gear ratios.

A powertrain includes an engine; a driveline including a gearbox having an input shaft connected to the engine, an output shaft to be connected to driving wheels of the vehicle and a countershaft for transmitting a rotation of the input shaft to the output shaft which can be coupled to the input shaft; an electric machine; a gear reduction mechanism having a free wheel and at least three separate and rotatable junction elements, the rotational speeds of the junction elements being interdependent but not having a fixed ratio relative to one another:a first junction element that is connected to the electric machine; a second junction element that is connectable to the free wheel; a third junction element that is connected to the countershaft. The torque ratio between the third junction element and the first junction element can be selected from at least two different ratios.

A system and method are disclosed for retrofitting mechanical workover rigs with electric motors to create a hybrid mechanical and electric drive. The process involves the replacement of the combustion engine with one or more electric motors to drive various components of the rig. The retrofit design allows for cleaner, more precise, and more efficient operations while eliminating the need for hydrocarbons as fuel and thus reducing associated greenhouse gas emissions. It also enables the installation of a computer control which, among other benefits, allows more precise control of the rig's operations than is possible with a mechanical transmission. The electric motors may be driven by a battery energy storage system.
