A hybrid drive train for a motor vehicle including: a drive unit having an internal combustion engine, an electric machine and a separating clutch operatively arranged between these components; a transmission; and a hydrodynamic torque converter arranged between the transmission and the drive unit. In order to advantageously further develop a hybrid drive train of this type, at least one torsional vibration absorber is arranged between the internal combustion engine and a converter housing of the torque converter.

A lubricant guide shell (32) for includes a first, radially extending section (33), which is provided for being situated axially opposite an end face (35) of a torque converter (9) in an installed state of the lubricant guide shell (32). The first section (33) transitions radially outwardly into a second, axially extending section (34), which, in the installed state of the lubricant guide shell (32), is configured for axially at least partially and radially outwardly encompassing the torque converter starting from the first section (33). The first section (33) as well as the second section (34) are configured to be completely circumferential.

A hybrid drive train for a vehicle has at least one internal combustion engine with an internal combustion engine drive shaft, in particular a crankshaft, and at least one first electrical machine with a first electrical machine drive shaft. The internal combustion engine and the first electrical machine are designed to transfer a torque to at least one drive axle. A transmission has a transmission input shaft and a transmission output shaft which is operatively connected to a first drive axle that can be driven by the internal combustion engine. The transmission input shaft of the transmission is connected at least to the internal combustion engine drive shaft of the internal combustion engine in order to transfer a torque from the internal combustion engine to the transmission input shaft and further to the first drive axle. The transmission input shaft and the internal combustion engine drive shaft of the internal combustion engine are arranged parallel to each other.

A vehicle electric machine assembly including a stator core and a terminal block is provided. The stator core includes one or more three-phase terminals connected to end windings. The terminal block includes a connector for each of the three-phase terminals. A portion of the end windings extending from the stator core, the three-phase terminals, and the terminal block are overmolded as a single unit such that a portion of each of the connectors is exposed for connection to an inverter. The terminal block may further include one or more threaded apertures, each sized to receive a threaded stud to facilitate an electrical connection between one of the one or more three-phase terminals and the inverter. Each of the one or more three-phase terminals may extend axially along an axis substantially parallel to a central axis of a rotor disposed within a cavity defined by the stator core.

A torque transmission unit includes a first input side, a second input side, an output side, a hydrodynamic converter and a lock-up clutch. The first input side is configured to receive a first torque, and the second input side is configured to receive a second torque. The torque transmission unit has a freewheel. The freewheel is arranged downstream of the hydrodynamic converter, and the second input side is arranged downstream of the freewheel in a torque flow of the first torque from the first input side to the output side. The freewheel is designed to, in a first freewheel operating state, connects, in a torque-locking manner, the hydrodynamic converter to the output side for the transmission of the first torque from the first input side to the output side when the lock-up clutch is open. The freewheel is designed to, in a second freewheel operating state, decouple the hydrodynamic converter from the output side, to at least partially prevent a transmission of the second torque from the second input side into the hydrodynamic converter.
