Abstract: A transmission for a vehicle is disclosed. The transmission includes a casing defining a first cavity and a second cavity inside the casing, with the first cavity selectively open to outside of the casing. The transmission also includes a platform at least partially disposed inside the casing to separate the first and second cavities. Furthermore, the transmission includes a power inverter module selectively disposed in the first cavity. The power inverter module includes a cooling system for cooling the power inverter module. The transmission also includes a guide attached to the platform and the casing within the second cavity such that the guide provides fluid communication between the cooling system of the power inverter module within the first cavity and outside of the casing while bypassing the second cavity.

Abstract: A transmission for a vehicle is disclosed which includes a casing defining a first cavity and a second cavity inside the casing. A platform is at least partially disposed inside the casing to separate the first and second cavities. The platform defines a plurality of first apertures arranged together to define a first group. An interface assembly includes a first support and a plurality of first connectors attached to the first support to define a first bundle. The first support is selectively attached to the platform to position the first bundle relative to the platform such that each of the first connectors are disposed in respective ones of the first apertures of the first group. The first connectors are coupled to a power inverter module and a first motor/generator through the first apertures of the platform to electrically connect the power inverter module and the first motor/generator to each other.

Abstract: An electromagnetic interference reduction assembly for a transmission is disclosed. A transmission casing includes a base and walls extending outwardly away from the base to a distal edge. The transmission casing defines a first cavity between the walls and includes a platform disposed between the walls. A power inverter module is disposed in the first cavity and supported by the platform when in the first cavity. The power inverter module generates electrical noise during operation which produces electromagnetic interference. A lid is attached to the distal edge of the walls to contain the power inverter module inside the first cavity. A grounding member engages the power inverter module and the lid when the lid is attached to the transmission casing to electrically connect the power inverter module to the lid to reduce the electrical noise exiting the first cavity which reduces the electromagnetic interference exiting the first cavity.

Abstract: Presented are electric drive unit (EDU) assemblies with integrated power electronics, methods for making/operating such EDU assemblies, and motor vehicles equipped with such EDU assemblies. An EDU assembly includes an outer housing that mounts to a vehicle body. The EDU outer housing has internal motor and transmission chambers and an external cavity. A traction motor is mounted inside the motor chamber and drives one or more vehicle wheels to thereby propel the vehicle. A gear train is mounted inside the transmission chamber and drivingly connects the traction motor to the vehicle wheels. An integrated power electronics (IPE) unit, which is operable to control the traction motor, includes an IPE outer housing with a housing chassis mounted inside the external cavity, and a main housing mounted on the housing chassis to define therebetween a power electronics (PE) chamber. Multiple integrated circuit (IC) PE modules are mounted inside the PE chamber.

Abstract: A prismatic cell cooling system includes a first prismatic cell having a first face, a second face angularly oriented to the first face and a third face oriented parallel to the first face and angularly oriented to the second face. A cooling jacket provides multiple coolant flow passages. A first cooling segment of the cooling jacket contacts one of the first face or the third face of the first prismatic cell. A second cooling segment of the cooling jacket directly contacts the second face of the first prismatic cell. The second cooling segment is contiguously and fluidly connected to the first cooling segment to promote simultaneous cooling of one of the first face or the third face and the second face of the first prismatic cell by flow of a coolant through the coolant flow passages.
