Abstract
A drivetrain () for a parallel hybrid vehicle has an internal combustion engine (), an electric machine () and a transmission (). The engine () and the electric machine () interact with a common input shaft () of the transmission (). At least one axle of the vehicle can be driven by the internal combustion engine () and/or the electric machine () via an output shaft () of the transmission (). A clutch () is between the internal combustion engine () and electric machine () and can open to decouple the internal combustion engine () from the input shaft () of the transmission (). The clutch () has a first element () for positive locking connection of the electric machine () to the internal combustion engine () and a second element () for frictional locking connection of the electric machine () to the internal combustion engine ().
