A gearbox including: a fixed housing; a first wheel housed in the fixed housing; a second wheel housed in the fixed housing; a duct, where the duct is fixed to the gearbox; and a baffle interposed between the first wheel and the second wheel, wherein the duct is configured to transport a fluid to the first wheel, wherein the baffle is configured to transport fluid from the first wheel to the second wheel, and wherein the baffle is fixed to the fixed housing.

Lubricant system including a baffle

Methods and systems for a transmission. In one example, the transmission system includes a first electric motor that is rotationally coupled to a first shaft with a first gear idly mounted thereto and a second electric motor that is rotationally coupled to a second shaft with a second gear idly mounted thereto. The transmission system further includes an intermediate shaft with a third gear fixedly coupled thereto, a first clutch configured to selectively rotationally couple the first gear and the first shaft, and a second clutch configured to selectively rotationally couple the second gear and the second shaft.

System and method for shifting in a dual motor transmission

Methods and systems for a dual motor transmission system that includes an intermediate shaft oriented parallel to both of a first shaft arranged with a first gear mesh, a third gear mesh, and a first low friction engaging device located between the first gear mesh and the third gear mesh and a second shaft arranged with a second gear mesh, a fourth gear mesh, and a second low friction engaging device located between the second gear mesh and the fourth gear mesh, a first electric motor coupled to the first shaft to enable a first reduction ratio and second reduction ratio of the first electric motor between the first shaft and the intermediate shaft, and a second electric motor coupled to the second shaft to enable a first reduction ratio and second reduction ratio of the second electric motor between the second shaft and the intermediate shaft.

System and method for seamless shifting in a dual motor transmission with minimal gears

Methods and systems are provided for a lubricant distribution assembly comprising a rotating component with a recessed circumferentially surrounded by a radially outer section, the radially inners side of which forms a surface of an undercut groove. The lubricant distribution assembly further includes a lubricant sump separated from the rotating component by a wall, a hollow tube that delivers lubricant from the lubricant sump to the lubricant distribution assembly and a lubricant deflector positioned within an upper portion of the lubricant distribution assembly and which lies in a plane that is parallel to a first axial side of the rotating component.

Systems for lubricant distribution

Methods and systems for a vehicle transmission are provided. An electromechanical transmission system includes, in one example, a power take-off (PTO) clutch configured to, in a first position, permit a motive power source shaft to solely drive a PTO. The PTO clutch is further configured to, in a second position, permit a first electric machine and a second electric machine to continuously vary a torque that is supplied to the PTO by the motive power source shaft.
