Why is the 'generator' mechanically connected to a 4 speed automatic transmission?

By this picture, its obvious that this is a parallel hybrid running through the stock automatic transmission. And electric motor doesn't need a 4 or 5 speed transmission. It produces its maximum torque from zero RPM. At most you use a reduction box which already exists in the rear differential. I think its a brilliant setup but its obviously a parallel hybrid.
