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 translation: 用于电动或混合动力车辆的车轴组件包括用于分别驱动车轮的电动驱动电动机。 轴组件优选地包括双电动机装置，其中两个电动机端对端设置。 每个电动机包括直接连接到其相应电动机的逆变器，并且包括耦合在电动机的输出端和可操作地连接到车轮的相应恒速（CV）接头之间的变速箱组件。 电动机的内侧端固定在冷却歧管的相对表面上，其中冷却歧管将马达保持轴向对准。 冷却歧管板位于每个电动机壳体的内侧端之间，并且冷却歧管板使第一和第二电动机轴向对准。 此外，每个电动机驱动其相应的齿轮箱组件，其包括具有制动带组件的齿轮减速和离合器机构，该制动带组件可选择性地操作以将相应的电动机与其相关联的车轮断开。
