Abstract

A drive train ( 1 ) of an all-electrically drivable motor vehicle has a first axle ( 2 ) with a differential ( 6 ), and two electric machines ( 15, 16 ). The first axle ( 2 ) can be driven by the electric machines ( 15, 16 ) via a transmission ( 17 ). One ( 16 ) of the two electric machines ( 15, 16 ) can be decoupled from the transmission ( 17 ) via a switchable clutch ( 23 ). Different driving conditions of the motor vehicle operated by the drive train can be executed with a particularly good efficiency.

Claims (11)

1. A drive train of an all-electrically drivable motor vehicle, comprising: a first axle with a first differential, a second axle with a second differential, first and second electric machines provided respectively with first and second driven shafts that are coaxial with one another and substantially parallel to the first and second axles, a gear mechanism arranged so that the first and second electric machines can drive the first axle and a switchable clutch arranged between the second electric machine and the gear mechanism so that the second electric machine can be decoupled from the gear mechanism, the first and second differentials being provided respectively with first and second differential housings formed respectively with first and second ring gears thereon, the first and second ring gears being connected to one another by a shaft for all-wheel operation of the motor vehicle, the shaft having a controllable clutch between the first differential and the second differential for selectively disconnecting the second axle from the gear mechanism and the electric machines, whereby selective operation of the switchable clutch and the controllable clutch enables the first electric machine to drive one or both of the axles and enables both of the electric machines to drive one or both of the axles.

2. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the two electric machines are arranged in a driving direction of the motor vehicle or transversely with respect to the driving direction of the motor vehicle.

3. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the first axle is a rear axle of the motor vehicle.

4. The drive train of claim 3 , wherein the electric machines are arranged behind the rear axle.

5. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the drive train is a drive train of a sports car.

6. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the gear mechanism comprises a spur gear mechanism.

7. The drive train of claim 6 , wherein the spur gear mechanism has an intermediate shaft between driven shafts of the electric machines and the first axle.

8. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the clutch is arranged between a driven shaft of the one electric machine and an input shaft of the gear mechanism.

9. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the gear mechanism has a common input shaft for the electric machines.

10. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first axle and the second axle has articulated shafts for the independent suspension of wheels of the at least one axle.

11. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the clutch is active in a positively locking or frictional manner.
