Abstract
Systems and a method for a clutch assembly are provided. In one example, a wet clutch for an electric motor includes a plurality of friction plates connected to a clutch hub; a plurality of separator plates connected to a drum and interleaved with the plurality of friction plates, a gear coupled to the electric motor; and a one-way clutch integrated into the wet clutch so as to be positioned between the gear and the clutch hub to allow free rotation in a predetermined direction while the wet clutch is hydraulically actuated and the friction plates and the separator plates rotate at the same speed thus avoiding drag losses.
