An electrically-operated electric drive module for use in a vehicle framework that is configured for a powertrain that includes an internal combustion engine. The electrically-operated electric drive module permits the vehicle to be converted to an electrically propelled vehicle in a manner that is cost-effective and which is relatively low in weight.

The present disclosure provides an eAxle assembly for an electric vehicle and method of installation. The eAxle assembly comprises an axle shaft along a first axis and a carrier configured to support internal components. The internal components comprise an electric motor along the first axis such that the electric motor is concentric and coaxial with the axle shaft and a transmission geared to the electric motor by a first, second, and third gearset. The transmission may transmit torque through the first and second gearsets by a first transmission shaft and through the third gearset by the first transmission shaft only.

An electrically operable axle drive train for a motor vehicle, comprising an electric machine accommodated in a motor housing, and a transmission assembly accommodated in a transmission housing, wherein the electric machine and the transmission assembly form a structural unit, and a ventilation channel extending through the transmission housing, opposite the direction of gravity, connects the transmission assembly within the transmission housing to the environment, wherein a separator cartridge designed as a separate component from the transmission housing is introduced into the ventilation channel and is configured such that it reduces the flow rate of a hydraulic fluid in the ventilation channel.
