[0060] It should be noted that the descriptions of the various working modes described above are merely illustrative and do not imply that the driver assembly 100 proposed in this application is limited to the above working modes, nor do they imply that the driver assembly 100 proposed in this application is limited by the above working modes.

[0061] Therefore, the drive assembly 100 of this application, through the combination of the first planetary gear set 20, the second planetary gear set 30 and the transmission device, can have multiple working modes and gears, and can stably provide sufficient power to the vehicle for a long time, which is conducive to improving the vehicle's power performance and improving the driving experience.

The first ring gear 23 selectively engages with the rear sun gear 42, meaning that the first ring gear 23 may engage with the rear sun gear 42 or may not engage with the rear sun gear 42.

At this time, the engine 10 and / or the first motor 11 provide power, the second motor 12 does not provide power, and the second engagement end 72 is not engaged with the second planetary carrier 32 or the second sun gear 31 to prevent the second motor 12 from being dragged and causing a loss of dragging energy.
