Abstract:
A transmission has a motor assembly with a stationary portion surrounding a rotor. The transmission also includes a clutch housing. A transmission casing surrounds the motor and the clutch housing. The stationary portion is rigidly connected to and supported by the clutch housing. Thus, a separate housing for the motor/generator is avoided. The housing may also support one or more motor bearings, seals, clutch pistons, or clutch plates.
