Abstract:
1. A hybrid drive, comprising: an internal combustion engine including an output side; a transmission disposed on said output side of said internal combustion engine, said transmission being drivable by said internal combustion engine, said transmission including an input shaft that is driven by said internal combustion engine and that runs in a longitudinal direction of said transmission, an output side, an output shaft to drive one of a machine disposed on said output side of said transmission and, in a case of a motor vehicle, a plurality of drive wheels, a plurality of one of manually and automatically shiftable gear stages for setting a plurality of different gear ratios between said input shaft and said output shaft, a hydrodynamic torque converter, a differential gear disposed, as viewed in a direction of a power flow from said input shaft to said output shaft, ahead of said hydrodynamic torque converter, and a mechanical power take-off, said differential gear splitting said power flow simultaneously between said hydrodynamic torque converter and said mechanical power take-off disposed within said power flow parallel to said hydrodynamic torque converter; an electric motor associated with said transmission and including an electrically driven rotor through which said transmission is additionally drivable, said electric motor being attached to said transmission laterally externally by at least one of a longitudinal axis of said electric motor and a rotational axis of said rotor of said electric motor one of parallel and essentially parallel to said input shaft, said electric motor being in a driving connection with one input of said differential gear to feed a driving power from said electric motor through said differential gear into said transmission.
