Systems are provided for a driveline. In one example, a system includes a first electric motor coupled to a first two-stage gear assembly, a second electric motor coupled to a second two-stage gear assembly and separated from the first electric motor, wherein the first and second two-stage gear assemblies comprise a first stage helical gear assembly and a second stage helical planetary reduction assembly.

Systems for a driveline

An electric driveline includes a planetary gear set comprising a ring gear, a sun gear, a planet carrier coupled to the ring gear and the sun gear, a first motor including a first output shaft coupled to the ring gear, a second motor including a second output shaft coupled to the sun gear, and a controller with instructions stored in memory thereof that when executed cause the controller to adjust an operational state of the first motor and selectively couple the ring gear to a static housing via a clutch based on a speed of the planet carrier.

Systems for a dual motor powertrain

Methods and systems for an electric vehicle (EV). The EV system includes an electric drive axle that includes a first electric motor configured to transfer mechanical power to a first drive wheel, a second electric motor configured to transfer mechanical power to a second drive wheel, and a motor coupling clutch configured to selectively rotationally couple the first electric motor to the second electric motor. The EV system further includes a controller configured to selectively rotationally couple the first electric motor to the second electric motor via operation of the motor coupling clutch based on vehicle load.

Electric vehicle (EV) system and operating method

Methods and systems for an electric vehicle (EV). The EV system, in one example, includes a first electric drive axle and a second electric drive axle that each include a pair of electric motors and a motor coupling clutch. The EV system further includes a controller configured to selectively engage one or both of the motor coupling clutches based on vehicle load.

Methods and systems for an axle are described. The axle may be a steering axle that is coupled to wheels that may move to change a steering angle of a vehicle. In one example, the axle includes two bearings that are arranged similarly so as to reduce a height of an axle. The two bearings may be tapered wheel bearings so that vertical and lateral wheel loads may be supported via an actual total of two bearings per wheel.
