A powertrain is provided that includes a hybrid transmission with an input member, an output member, and a stationary member, and a first and a second electric machine. Only a single planetary gear set having a first member, a second member, and a third member is operatively connected between the input member and the output member. The first, the second, and the third members include a ring gear member, a sun gear member, and a carrier member. The powertrain includes a first, a second, a third, and a fourth selectively engageable torque-transmitting mechanism. Selective engagement of a different one or ones of the torque-transmitting mechanisms and selective operation of one or both electric machines establishes a series operating mode, an input-split operating mode, at least one electric-only operating mode, and at least one fixed gear operating mode between the input member and the output member.

Hybrid transmission with single planetary gear set and multiple operating modes

A powertrain includes an input member, an output member, and a stationary member. A first and a second electric motor/generator are provided. Only two planetary gear sets are used, each having a respective first, second, and third member. An interconnecting member connects one of the members of a first one of the planetary gear sets to one of the members of a second one of the planetary gear sets. The input member, the output member, the first motor/generator and the second motor/generator are each continuously connected for common rotation with a different one of the members of the planetary gear sets that is not connected by the interconnecting member. Four brakes are each selectively engageable to ground a different respective one of the members of the planetary gear sets that is not connected by the interconnecting member to the stationary member.
