Abstract:
A drive system includes a first gear set and a second gear set, each including a sun gear, a ring gear, a plurality of planetary gears coupling the sun gear to the ring gear, and a carrier rotationally supporting the plurality of planetary gears, a first electrical machine coupled to the sun gear of the first gear set, a second electrical machine coupled to the sun gear of the second gear set, a connecting shaft coupled to the ring gear of the first gear set, a driveshaft that transports power from the electrical machines to a tractive element, a first clutch selectively rotationally coupling the first carrier and the second carrier to the driveshaft, and at least one of a second clutch selectively rotationally coupling the second electrical machine to the connecting shaft and a third clutch selectively rotationally coupling the second gear set to the driveshaft.

Claim (Index 8):
A drive system for a vehicle, comprising:\n a first planetary gear set; a second planetary gear set directly coupled to the first planetary gear set; a connecting shaft coupled to the first planetary gear set, wherein the first planetary gear set, the second planetary gear set, and the connecting shaft are radially aligned; a first electromagnetic device coupled to the first planetary gear set, wherein the first electromagnetic device includes a first shaft; a second electromagnetic device coupled to the second planetary gear set and selectively rotationally engaged with the connecting shaft, wherein the second electromagnetic device includes a second shaft, wherein the first shaft and the second shaft are radially aligned with the first planetary gear set, the second planetary gear set, and the connecting shaft, and wherein the connecting shaft extends through the second electromagnetic device and through the second planetary gear set to the first planetary gear set; and an output selectively coupled to the first planetary gear set and the second planetary gear set, wherein the output is radially offset from the first planetary gear set, the second planetary gear set, and the connecting shaft.
