The present invention relates to a hybrid module (4) for a drivetrain of a vehicle with an internal combustion engine (1) and a transmission (9), wherein the hybrid module (4) is effective between the internal combustion engine (1) and the transmission (9) and comprises: an electric drive (7, 8), a disconnect clutch (6) and a freewheel (5), wherein the disconnect clutch (6) and the freewheel (5) are arranged parallel to one another, each provided for torque transmission from the internal combustion engine (1) in the direction of the transmission (9), the freewheel (5) transmits torque coming from the internal combustion engine (1) in the direction of the transmission (9) and opens when torque is directed in the opposite direction, and a portion of the torque generated by the internal combustion engine (1) that is transmitted by the freewheel (5) is adjustable by setting a torque that can be transmitted by the disconnect clutch (6), so that the vehicle can be driven selectively by the internal combustion engine (1) or the electric drive (7, 8) or combined simultaneously by both, wherein by partial closing of the disconnect clutch (6) corresponding to the torque that can be transmitted by the disconnect clutch (6), a torque transmitted through the freewheel (5) is reduced.
