A hybrid module configured for arrangement in the torque path upstream from a transmission and downstream from an internal combustion engine includes an electric motor including a stator and a rotor rotatable within the stator, and a torque converter including a cover, an impeller and a turbine. The cover includes a pump drive configured for driving a fluid pump of the transmission. The torque converter includes a bypass clutch configured for frictionally drivingly connecting the cover to the impeller in an engaged orientation and for frictionally drivingly disconnecting the cover from the impeller in a disengaged orientation, the cover being non-rotatably fixed to rotor. The hybrid module also includes a connect/disconnect clutch having a clutch output non-rotatably fixed to the rotor. The connect/disconnect clutch is configured for being actuated between an engaged orientation for drivingly connecting the internal combustion engine to the cover of the torque converter and a disengaged orientation for drivingly disconnecting the internal combustion engine from the cover of the torque converter. The hybrid module is configured for transmitting torque from the internal combustion engine to the pump drive without driving the impeller when the connect/disconnect clutch is in the engaged orientation and the bypass clutch is in the disengaged orientation.
