Abstract:
A split-axis transmission may include two planetary gear sets to provide two parallel torque paths from an input axis to an output axis. Thus, the split-axis transmission may provide the ratio preselection capability and the low power losses of a dual-clutch transmission, while also providing the ratio-changing control and smoothness of a traditional powershift automatic transmission.
