In at least one embodiment, a system for a class 7 or 8 vehicle is provided. The system includes a first motor, a second motor, and a controller. The first motor is configured to generate torque for the vehicle. The second motor is configured to drive an engine of the vehicle such that the vehicle meets a desired speed as set forth by a driver. The controller is configured to drive at least one of the first motor and the second motor and to receive a first signal indicative of a speed of the vehicle. The controller is further configured to deactivate the first motor if the speed of the vehicle is greater than a predetermined speed limit.

A speed reduction assembly for an electric vehicle includes an electric machine configured to operate as a motor and as a generator. The electric machine includes an output shaft that is rotatable about a longitudinal axis at an output speed. The assembly also includes an output member coupled to the output shaft and rotatable about the longitudinal axis at a reduced speed. In addition, the assembly includes a pericyclic apparatus coupled to the output shaft and the output member to reduce the output speed of the output shaft to the reduced speed of the output member. A vehicle may include the speed reduction assembly in certain configurations. The vehicle includes a battery module and the electric machine is in electrical communication with the battery module to recharge the battery module when the electric machine operates as the generator.

A hybrid module for a drive train of a motor vehicle includes a housing, an electric machine disposed within the housing. The electric machine having a stator and a rotor arranged radially within the stator. The hybrid module having at least one hydraulically cooled friction clutch arranged radially within the rotor. A cooling device is provided that is configured to cool a plurality of friction surfaces of the at least one friction clutch and which has an annular collecting region coupled to the rotor for conjoint rotation therewith and entraining a hydraulic medium during operation, as well as a scoop section, which is secured to the housing and projects into the collecting region and via which the hydraulic medium is fed to a retaining chamber during operation.

A drive axle for a work machine for driving wheels that are coupled to the drive axle. The drive axle includes a spur gear stage with an input shaft. A differential gear unit couples to the spur gear stage and to the wheels via wheel drive shafts. The drive axle further includes a reduction gear unit with an output element couples to the input shaft of the spur gear stage—and an input element which couples to an output shaft of an electric drive machine.

A method for manufacturing a stator for an electric machine, having the following steps: inserting a cast body with a nozzle from a first side of the stator into the stator, inserting a cast counterbody from a second opposing side of the stator into the stator, casting the stator with thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, or resin by means of the nozzle, curing the thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, or resin, wherein following the curing a cast-on piece of the thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, or resin is sheared off using a rotational movement of the cast body or cast counterbody.

Shaft for an electric machine, includes a core seat for a laminated core and two shaft ends extending axially outwardly from the core seat in opposite directions, wherein the core seat has at least one core seat portion extending in the axial direction with a polygonal profile for forming a polygonal connection to the laminated core.

The motor unit includes: a motor having a motor shaft that rotates around a motor axis extending along a horizontal direction; a gear section connected to the motor shaft on one side of the motor shaft in an axial direction; a housing that houses the motor and the gear section; and an oil contained in the housing. The housing includes a motor housing section that has inside a motor chamber for housing the motor, and a gear housing section that has inside a gear chamber for housing the gear section. The housing is provided with an oil passage along which the oil circulates for cooling the motor. A pump that supplies the oil to the motor is provided in a channel of the oil passage. The pump has a pump motor. A rotation axis of the pump motor is parallel to the motor axis.
