Abstract: An axle assembly for an electric or hybrid vehicle includes electrically powered drive motors for respectively driving vehicle wheels. The axle assembly preferably includes a dual motor arrangement, wherein two electric motors are arranged end-to-end. Each motor includes an inverter that is directly connected to its respective motor, and includes a gearbox assembly coupled between an output of the motor and a corresponding constant-velocity (CV) joint operatively connected to a wheel. The inboard ends of the motors are secured to opposite faces of a cooling manifold wherein the cooling manifold maintains the motors in axial alignment. The cooling manifold plate is positioned between an inboard end of each of the motor housings, and the cooling manifold plate axially aligns the first and second motors. Further, each motor drives its respective gearbox assembly, which includes a gear reduction and clutch mechanism having a brake band assembly that is selectively operable to disconnect the respective motor from the vehicle wheel associated therewith.

Abstract: A powertrain has a multi speed power transmission including a planetary gear arrangement with three simple planetary gear sets and six selectively engageable, fluid operated, friction torque transmitting mechanisms. A one-way torque transmitting mechanism is disposed in parallel drive relation with one of the friction torque transmitting mechanisms. The selective engagement of the friction torque transmitting mechanisms will establish seven forward drive ratios, a neutral condition and a reverse drive ratio. All of the forward ratio interchanges are single transition shifts and all of the single ratio skip shifts are single transition shifts. The seven forward drive ratios include four underdrive ratios, a direct drive ratio, and two overdrive ratios. The planetary gear arrangement can be controlled to establish six forward drive ratios with either one overdrive ratio and four underdrive ratios or two overdrive ratios and three underdrive ratios. A five speed arrangement having four forward underdrive ratios, a forward direct ratio a neutral condition and a reverse drive ratio while permitting the elimination of one of the friction torque transmitting mechanisms.

Abstract: A dual input planetary transmission has at least two planetary gearsets, two input clutches, five synchronizer clutches, and two brake mechanisms. The planetary gearsets each have one member continuously interconnected with a transmission output shaft and at least one member selectively connectible with a transmission input shaft through the input clutches and at least of two of the synchronizer clutches. The synchronizer clutches also provide selective interconnections of members of one of the planetary gearsets with members of the other of the planetary gearsets. The input clutches are interchanged during a speed ratio interchange and at least one synchronizer clutch is manipulated to preselect the on-coming speed ratio. The input clutches, synchronizer clutches, and brake mechanisms are engaged in various combinations to establish at least six forward speed ratios and one reverse speed ratio.

Abstract: A power transmission having two simple planetary gear sets produces five forward speed ratios and a reverse ratio. The two highest forward speed ratios, fourth and fifth, are overdrive ratios using the same input member in one of the planetary sets and exchanging output members in the other planetary set. The power transmission also has a continuous input drive to a sun gear of one of the planetary sets and incorporates five clutches and two brakes to establish the five forward speed ratios. The clutches and brakes are disposed in parallel with the clutch and one-way device to permit more control of the shift timing. The continuous input to the sun gear is employed in all the forward ratios and in the reverse ratio.
