Abstract
A drive train unit for a hybrid vehicle includes an input shaft arranged for rotationally fixed attachment to an output of a transmission, an output shaft, an electric machine with a rotor, a clutch, and an actuating unit operatively connected to the clutch. The actuating unit has an actuator and an actuating bearing, displaceable by the actuator. The clutch may be a separating clutch operatively inserted between the rotor and the input shaft, or a friction clutch operatively inserted between the input shaft and the output shaft. The clutch may be a self-intensifying clutch with a leaf spring adjusted at a set angle relative to a reference plane oriented perpendicular to an axis of rotation such that, in a driving direction of a first clutch component, a first friction element is applied to a second friction element with an additional axial force.
