Abstract
A gearbox assembly for an electric drive module (EDM) having an electric motor that selectively provides drive torque for an electrified vehicle is provided. A differential is driven by the electric motor and is configured to selectively drive first and second drive axles. A planetary gear set is configured to selectively connect to an output of an electric motor through the differential, the planetary gear set including a sun gear, a ring gear and a planetary carrier. A winch includes a spool and is selectively driven by the planetary gear set. The gearbox assembly is switchable between (i) a first drive mode where the drive torque is routed from the electric motor, through the differential and to the first and second drive axles; and (ii) a second winch mode where the drive torque is routed from the electric motor, through the differential and to the spool.
