Summary:A motor/generator unit is disclosed which is arranged to be fitted in the drive train of a vehicle, such as a hybrid vehicle. The unit comprises an electrical machine (10, 12) and a housing arrangement (14, 16). The housing arrangement comprises an inner housing (14) arranged to accommodate the electrical machine, and an outer housing (16) arranged to fit around the inner housing. This can allow the electrical machine to be provided as a self- contained unit suitable for use in different applications. L'invention porte sur une unité de moteur/générateur, laquelle unité est agencée de façon à être disposée dans le train de transmission d'un véhicule, tel qu'un véhicule hybride. L'unité comprend une machine électrique (10, 12) et un agencement de carter (14, 16). L'agencement de carter comprend un carter interne (14) agencé de façon à recevoir la machine électrique, et un carter externe (16) agencé de façon à s'adapter autour du carter interne. Ceci peut permettre à la machine électrique d'être réalisée sous la forme d'une unité auto-contenue apte à l'utilisation dans différentes applications.
