Patent ID: 8790201

Claim:
A hybrid transmission operatively connected with an engine, comprising: an input member operatively connected with the engine; an output member; a plurality of selectively engageable torque-transmitting mechanisms; a gearing arrangement including a first, a second, and a third planetary gear set, each of said planetary gear sets having a first member, a second member, and a third member; a first, a second, and a third interconnecting member; wherein the second and the third interconnecting members each continuously connects a respective one of said members of said second planetary gear set for common rotation with a respective one of said members of said third planetary gear set; wherein the first interconnecting member continuously connects one of said members of said first planetary gear set for common rotation with one of said members of still said second planetary gear set; wherein none of said interconnecting members connect members of all three of said planetary gear sets for common rotation; a first motor/generator continuously operatively connected for common rotation only with one of the members of the first planetary gear set; a second motor/generator continuously operatively connected for common rotation with one of the members of the second planetary gear set and one of the members of the third planetary gear set; wherein a first of the torque-transmitting mechanisms is engaged to establish a hybrid series operating mode between the input member and the output member; and wherein a second of the torque-transmitting mechanisms is engaged to establish a compound-split operating mode between the input member and the output member.
