Abstract
An electrified vehicle assembly includes, among other things, an outer shaft that is rotatable about an axis. The outer shaft rotatably couples a motor of an electrified vehicle to a transmission component of the electrified vehicle. A shaft insert provides a conduit for a fluid and that blocks the fluid from flowing radially between the shaft insert and the outer shaft relative to the axis. The shaft insert includes a polymer-based material, a composite material, or both.
