An electrically-variable transmission includes an input shaft, an output
shaft, two electric motor/generators, and four nodes between which three
parallel power paths are defined. Two of the power paths are mechanical
and one of the power paths is electrical. The electric motor generators
provide continuously variable speed ratios; manipulation of the power
paths at the nodes provides a plurality of continuously variable
operating modes for increased efficiency and smaller motor size. The
transmission also provides an equal forward/reverse system with an input
split.
