Methods and systems are provided for an electric axle. The electric axle system includes, in one example, an electric machine, a multi-speed transmission that is rotationally coupled to the electric machine, rotationally coupled to two output shafts, and including a Ravigneaux gear set rotationally coupled and positioned coaxial to a differential. The electric axle system further includes a mode clutch configured to selectively ground a carrier or a ring gear in the Ravigneaux gear set, ground a sun gear in the Ravigneaux gear set, and couple the carrier or the ring gear to the sun gear in the Ravigneaux gear set.
