The power output of the engine, which is transmitted via the planetary gear unit, is divided into the motive force directed to the drive wheels and the motive force to the MG1 for generating electricity. Also, when MG1 rotates and the engine starts, MG1 functions as a starter.
As part of the power split planetary gear unit, the sun gear is connected to MG1, the ring gear is connected to the counter drive gear (output) and the carrier is connected to the engine.
