A drive unit for a drivetrain of a hybrid motor vehicle comprises a first electric machine and a second electric machine, which, in respect of its rotor, is arranged coaxially with an axis of rotation of a rotor of the first electric machine. A first transmission stage is arranged between a drive component, which is configured to be selectively coupled for conjoint rotation to an output shaft of an internal combustion engine, and a power shaft of the first electric machine and/or of the second electric machine. A transmission component unit is provided, via which the power shaft of the respective electric machine is configured to be selectively coupled to wheel driveshafts. The drive component of the internal combustion engine is coupled to an intermediate gear unit via a second transmission stage. The intermediate gear unit has an integrated clutch and is further connected to the wheel driveshafts in such a way that, depending on the position of the integrated clutch, the internal combustion engine is coupled to the wheel driveshafts via at least the second transmission stage or is decoupled from the wheel driveshafts.

A transmission (2) includes a first input shaft (7) for a first prime mover (3), a second input shaft (8) for a second prime mover (4), as well as a first output shaft (9) and a second output shaft (10), which are each coupleable to a drive output (11). A first sub-transmission (5) includes the first input shaft (7), and fixed gears (12, 13) are arranged on the first input shaft (7). Each of these fixed gears (12, 13) meshes with a respective idler gear (14, 15) on the first output shaft (9) and with a respective idler gear (16, 17) on the second output shaft (10). Shift elements (A, B, C, D) are associated with the output shafts (9, 10), depending on which the idler gears of the output shafts are coupleable to the particular output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner. A second sub-transmission (6) includes the second input shaft (8) and is designed as a planetary transmission. A ring gear (22) forms the second input shaft (8). A carrier (23) is coupled to one of the output shafts (9, 10). Shift elements (F, E) are associated with the planetary transmission, via which, depending on their shift position, the sun gear (24) is fixedly connectable to the housing or the planetary transmission is bringable into direct drive. The planetary transmission is arranged coaxially to the first input shaft (7). The carrier (23) of the planetary transmission is permanently coupled to one of the output shafts via a spur gear stage.

A control system for operating a military vehicle according to different modes includes processing circuitry that receives a user input indicating a selected mode of the different modes, and operates a driveline and a front end accessory drive (FEAD) of the military vehicle according to the selected mode. The driveline of the military vehicle includes an engine and an integrated motor generator (IMG) and the FEAD includes multiple accessories and an electric motor-generator. The modes include an engine mode and an electric mode. In the engine mode, the engine drives the FEAD and drives tractive elements of the military vehicle through the IMG for transportation. In the electric mode, the engine is shut off to reduce a sound output of the military vehicle and the IMG drives the tractive elements of the military vehicle for transportation and the electric motor-generator drives the FEAD.

A computer includes a processor and a memory storing processor-executable instructions. The processor is programmed to prevent a traction battery from providing power to a vehicle powertrain below a charge threshold, and then, upon one of (a) receiving an acceleration demand above an acceleration threshold and (b) predicting that a planned maneuver classified as high acceleration will occur within a time threshold, permit the traction battery to provide power to the vehicle powertrain below the charge threshold.
