HYBRID TRANSAXLE SYSTEM


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. The lubrication system employs an oil sling type lubrication method via the final drive gear and oil catch tanks. This construction minimizes drive losses which would otherwise be required to drive an oil pump. Also, a differential oil baffle (transaxle housing oil separator) is used to optimize the flow of caught oil and to reduce churn loss.

    2. The oil catch tanks temporarily store the fluid that is slung up, and supply oil to the different parts of the gear train. Oil holes are provided in the oil catch tanks in order to efficiently supply oil to the generator (MG1) and motor (MG2).
