Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a powertrain assembly including a continuously variable transmission and, in some examples, a clutch. The clutch may be operably coupled between a prime mover and the continuously variable transmission. Additionally, or alternatively, a clutch may be operable coupled after or downstream of the continuously variable transmission. Aspects of the powertrain assembly may be controlled to provide starting-clutch functionality, to provide torque-limiting functionality, and/or to adapt operation of the powertrain for any of a variety of conditions.

Abstract: A utility vehicle includes a frame assembly, a plurality of ground-engaging members supporting the frame assembly, and a powertrain assembly operably coupled to the ground-engaging members and including a prime mover and a continuously variable transmission. Additionally, the utility vehicle includes an operator defined by a portion of the frame assembly and including seating for at least an operator. The utility vehicle also includes an electrical assembly comprising an electric motor operably coupled to the continuously variable transmission. The electric motor is positioned rearward of the operator area.
