DRIVE April 14, 2022
Source
A transmission assembly includes a transmission assembly housing; a continuously variable power source (CVP) configured to generate CVP power; an input arrangement selectively coupled to receive the engine power from the input shaft and the CVP power from the CVP; a variator configured to receive the engine power and the CVP power through the input arrangement; and an output arrangement including an output shaft defining an output axis and at least one output component connected to the output shaft. A transmission gear arrangement is configured to provide a selective gear reduction for transmission of selected output power of the CVP power or combined power of the CVP power and the engine power. The transmission gear arrangement includes a plurality of range clutches supported about the output shaft and configured to be selectively engaged to transfer the selected output power from the variator shaft to the output shaft.
