Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a powertrain for a vehicle and, more particularly, to a powertrain that allows for achieving a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle and can perform left-right torque vectoring of a vehicle.
Description of Related Art
In the related art, the driving systems of a hybrid vehicle and an electric vehicle are simple gear systems, so the operation point of an engine or a motor for driving the vehicles depends on the speed of the vehicles. Accordingly, driving at the optimal operating point of an engine or a motor for driving a vehicle is limited, so the improvement of fuel efficiency is limited, and power cannot be transmitted at a high speed due to an upper speed limit of the motor (a limit in durability of a bearing) when the vehicles are driven at a high speed.
Further, it is limited to apply torque vectoring for ensuring stability when a vehicle turns to left and right wheels, so there is also a limit in ensuring stability when a vehicle turns.
