An electric axle assembly includes a banjo axle housing, first and second half shafts, and an electric drive unit. The banjo axle housing has a central portion that defines a receiving space and first and second openings providing access to the receiving space, first and second beams extending from the central portion in opposite first and second axial directions, and defining first and second beam hollows in communication with the receiving space. The half shafts extend within the first and second beam hollows. The electric drive unit includes a motor, a differential, and a housing having first and second housing components. At least one of the first and second housing components defines a motor housing region, the first and second housing components define a gearbox region, and the first and second housing components define first and second apertures that provide access for coupling the half shafts with the differential.

A bladed balancing disc for an electric motor is disclosed. The bladed balancing disc includes a first disc, a second disc, a plurality of blades, and at least one disc aperture. The first disc includes a first flange extending from the first disc in an axial direction relative to a central axis of the first disc, and the second disc is axially offset from the first disc in an extension direction of the first flange. Each of the plurality of blades extend between the first disc and the second disc. The at least one disc aperture extends through the first flange, fluidly coupling a volume radially inward of the first flange to a volume radially outward of the first flange.
