Abstract
A differential for an e-axle that includes an oil collector for enhancing oil distribution to the differential. Unlike conventional differentials, a differential in accordance with the present disclosure is not submerged in fluid. Rather, the oil collector collects fluid sprayed by other transmission components (e.g., a ring gear) and directs the fluid to the differential.
