A manual gearbox section for a vehicle includes a section input, a section output, a freewheel device situated in a freewheel torque path between the section input and the section output, and a clutch device situated in a clutch torque path between the section input and the section output. The clutch torque path forms a bypass path with respect to the freewheel device and/or the freewheel torque path. The freewheel device is in the form of a rotational-speed-dependent freewheel device. The freewheel device is in a freewheeling state at a first rotational speed and in a coupled state at a second rotational speed. The second rotational speed is higher than the first rotational speed.

Manual gearbox section for a vehicle, vehicle including the manual gearbox section, and method for shifting the manual gearbox section

A gearing arrangement for an electric motor which is improved in terms of ease of use and efficiency. To this end there is proposed a gearing arrangement for an electric motor of a vehicle, including an input interface for coupling to the electric motor and including an output interface, such that a drive torque path runs between the input interface and the output interface; including a first transmission gearing stage with a first transmission ratio (i), such that the drive torque path in a first gearshift state runs via the first transmission gearing stage; and including a second transmission gearing stage with a second transmission ratio, such that the drive torque path in a second gearshift state runs via the second transmission gearing stage; and including an intermediate transmission gearing stage with a continuously variable transmission ratio (i. . . i), such that the drive torque path in an intermediate gearshift state runs via the intermediate transmission gearing stage.

Gear system for an electric motor of a vehicle

A gearing arrangement that offers a new way to operate an electric motor at a favorable operating point is provided. To this end there is proposed a gearing arrangement () for an electric motor () of a vehicle (), including an input interface () for coupling to the electric motor () and including an output interface (), such that a drive torque path runs between the input interface () and the output interface (); including a first transmission gearing stage () with a first transmission ratio (i), such that the drive torque path in a first operating state of the gear arrangement () runs via the first transmission gearing stage (); and including a second transmission gearing stage (), such that the drive torque path in a second operating state of the gear arrangement () runs via the second transmission gearing stage (), the second transmission gearing stage () having a continuously variable transmission ratio (i. . . i).

Gear system for an electric motor of a vehicle, and vehicle including the gear system

A drive arrangement and a vehicle having a damper device having a damper primary side and a damper secondary side. The damper primary side forms a first drive interface for the coupling of a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, having a freewheel device with a freewheel input and a freewheel output. The damper secondary side is coupled rotationally conjointly to the freewheel input, having a gearbox section operatively connected to the freewheel output, having an output interface for the coupling of a drive output section of the vehicle, wherein the output interface is operatively connected to the gearbox section, and having a second drive interface for the coupling of the electric motor and operatively connected to the gearbox section by a control device. The drive arrangement can, by the control device, be switched into different operating states such that a drive torque can be transmitted to the output interface by the first drive interface or by the second drive interface.
