Abstract
A hybrid transmission for a front-wheel drive vehicle includes a multi-speed transmission, a differential, an electric motor, and a planetary gear set. The multi-speed transmission includes an input shaft with a first axis. The differential includes a housing with a second axis, radially offset from the first axis. The electric motor is concentric with the second axis. The planetary gear set connects the multi-speed transmission, the differential, and the electric motor. In some example embodiments, the planetary gear set includes a sun gear drivingly engaged with the multi-speed transmission, a planet carrier drivingly engaged with the differential, and a ring gear drivingly engaged with the electric motor.
