Abstract
A two-speed electric drive assembly for vehicles includes a main driveshaft driven by a first axial flux motor where the main driveshaft extends coaxially through a hollow assist driveshaft driven by a second axial flux motor. The main driveshaft includes a main gear that is continuously meshed with an intermediate gear on an intermediate driveshaft. A freewheel gear is mounted around the hollow assist driveshaft and can be selectively coupled and decoupled with the hollow assist driveshaft by a shift mechanism. The freewheel gear is continuously meshed with an intermediate gear on the intermediate driveshaft. Another intermediate gear affixed to the intermediate driveshaft is continuously meshed with an output gear affixed to an output driveshaft. The two-speed electric drive assembly can selectively switch between speed mode and torque mode without torque interrupt.
