A hybrid-vehicle power train connected to an engine comprises a motor, a
CVT unit, a planetary gear unit having at least two input elements,
namely, first and second input elements and an output element, a first
clutch for engaging/disengaging the first input element with/from a final
shaft of the power train, and a second clutch for engaging/disengaging
the output element with/from the final shaft of the power train. An input
shaft of the CVT unit is connected to the engine and is drivingly
connected to the second input element. An output shaft of the CVT unit is
connected to the first input element. The motor is connected to the
output shaft of the CVT unit. According this configuration, motor torque
is amplified and transmitted to the final shaft when the first clutch is
engaged, while motor torque is transmit directly to the final shaft when
the second clutch is engaged.
