An axle assembly for a low floor vehicle is described herein. The axle assembly includes an axle housing and a drive unit for driving a wheel assembly. The axle housing including a first gearbox, a second gearbox and a cradle assembly coupling the first gear box to the second gear box. The axle assembly includes first and second hub assemblies that form a first axis of rotation. The first gearbox includes an electric motor that is coupled to a transmission used to rotate an output shaft. The first gearbox also includes a differential mounted for rotation with the transmission and a first drop box mounted for rotation with the differential. The axle assembly also includes a portal axle mounted for rotation with the first drop box and extends from the first gearbox to the second gearbox wherein the portal axle forms a second axis of rotation that is offset from the first axis of rotation of the hub assemblies. The second gearbox includes a second drop box mounted for rotation with the portal axle and is adapted to drive the second hub assembly.

A modular drive system may include a motor assembly that includes a motor housing with a motor subassembly bolt pattern. The modular drive system may include a brake assembly that includes a brake housing with a brake subassembly bolt pattern. The modular drive system may include a final drive assembly that includes a final drive flange with a final drive subassembly bolt pattern.

A liner plate for a work machine has a frame with a frame surface and an axle opening, and a guard member at least partially disposed above the axle opening. The guard member has a lower face, a region of the frame surface and a region of the lower face define a volume. The liner plate includes a body portion defining an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface. The body portion defines a first side surface and a second side surface. The body portion is adapted to be coupled to the frame surface proximate the first side surface. The body portion is adapted to be coupled to the guard member proximate the second side surface. Further, upon coupling of the body portion to the frame surface and the guard member, the body portion prevents at least some debris from entering the volume.

A powered axle for a work vehicle with a dual wheel arrangement includes an axle housing, an axle hub mounted to the axle housing, and an output hub having opposite axial ends supported by one or more wheel bearings for rotation about the axle hub along a rotation axis. An electric drive is disposed, at least in part, within the axle housing, and a hub gear set is disposed, at least in part, within the axle hub and configured to transmit power from the electric drive to the output hub for rotation of the dual wheel arrangement. A wheel brake disposed radially between the axle hub and the output hub and axially between the ends of the output hub is configured to selectively permit and arrest rotation of the output hub.
