Abstract
A vehicle includes a housing, an electric machine configured to propel the vehicle, and a clamp. The housing defines an internal cavity, and has first and second stepped surfaces extending radially inward and into the cavity. The electric machine is disposed within the cavity. The electric machine has a stator that includes third and fourth stepped surfaces that extend radially outward. The clamp engages the first and third stepped surfaces, and axially forces the fourth stepped surface into engagement with the second stepped surface.
