Abstract
A hybrid electric drive system for a vehicle having at least two drive wheels which receive torque from a primary drive shaft. The system includes an internal combustion engine which is operatively connected to a secondary drive shaft for delivering torque thereto, a transmission assembly for delivering torque to the primary drive shaft which has an input shaft that is operatively connected to the secondary drive shaft for receiving torque therefrom, and at least one electric motor which is operatively connected to the input shaft of the transmission assembly for delivering torque thereto.
