Planetary Gear Set
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The planetary gear set, the generator motor, and the traction motor are internal to the electronically controlled CVT. The planetary gear set mechanically links the internal combustion engine, the electric traction motor, and the electric generator together. It distributes power between the three elements that it connects. The engine is connected to the carrier, the generator motor is connected to the sun gear, and the traction motor to the ring gear of the planetary gear set.
