Original Abstract Submitted

Compact transmission systems and vehicles with such transmission systems are provided. An exemplary compact transmission includes a drive shaft defining a drive axis and configured to be powered by a drive unit; a planetary gearset having a ring gear member, a planet gear member, a sun gear member, and a planet carrier having a carrier shaft defining a planetary axis, wherein the planetary axis is distanced from the drive axis; an output shaft defining an output axis, wherein the output axis is distanced from the planetary axis and from the drive axis; an output gear connected to the output shaft; a drive pinion gear configured to transfer torque from the drive shaft to the planetary gearset; and an output pinion gear configured to transfer torque from the planetary gearset to the output shaft.
