A drive device (2) for an at least partially electrically driven vehicle (1) includes an electric machine (3) having a rotor shaft (8) extending longitudinally along an input axis (4). The drive device further includes a first output shaft (6a) extending longitudinally along an output axis (7) and parallel to the rotor shaft (8). Moreover, the drive device includes a gear stage (5) having a first gearwheel (9) rotationally fixed to the rotor shaft (8), and a second gearwheel (10) meshed with the first gearwheel (9) and drivingly connected to the first output shaft (6a).

Methods and systems are provided for integrating a gearbox and an electric motor in a same housing. In one example, a system may include enclosing a gearbox containing an idler gear configured to drive an accessory gear coupled to a differential.

A vehicle includes a motor, a gear mechanism connected downstream of the motor, a box that has a motor chamber that houses the motor, a gear chamber that houses the gear mechanism and lubricating oil, and an exhaust pipe. A first cooling box, in which cooling liquid that cools the motor is introduced, is configured on an outer circumference of the motor. A second cooling box, which is connected so that cooling liquid can circulate between the second cooling box and the first cooling box, is configured on an outer circumference of the box. The motor chamber is arranged at a position spaced further apart from the exhaust pipe than the gear chamber.

An electric drive assembly with oil/water dual cooling is provided that includes a motor module, a gearbox module, a water cooling module and an oil cooling module. Lubricating oil is introduced into the front and rear windings of the motor through three oil conveying passages to improve the cooling performance of the motor. Moreover, the gearbox cavity and the motor cavity do not need to be sealed, which avoids the use of high-speed oil seal of motor shaft, and thus the cost of the drive assembly is reduced and the transmission efficiency is improved. The cooling fluid of the motor cools the lubricating oil through the heat exchanger of the gearbox, thereby solving the heat dissipation problem when the gearbox of the new energy vehicle operates at high speed constantly, and thus improving the service life and reliability of the gear and bearing.

The drivetrain system includes an I shield, two motors, two A-shields, and a gearset. Each A-shield is affixed to a respective one of the two motors, and each A-shield is also affixed to the I-shield. The gearset includes a motor shaft of one of the motors and a motor gear affixed to the motor shaft. Three motor bearings are arranged co-linearly and coupled to the motor shaft. The gearset also includes an intermediate shaft and a wheel gear affixed to the intermediate shaft and engaged with the first motor gear. A pinion gear is also affixed to the intermediate shaft. Two intermediate bearings are arranged co-linearly and coupled to the intermediate shaft. The gearset also includes a drive shaft and a drive gear affixed to the drive shaft and engaged with the first pinion gear. The motor shaft, intermediate shaft and drive shaft form a shaft angle that may allow compactness.
