Abstract
Systems and methods for an electric axle. The electric axle includes, in one example, a first electric machine directly coupled to a sun gear of a planetary gear set and a second electric machine directly coupled to a carrier of a planetary gear set. The planetary gear set includes a set of planet gears that rotate on the carrier and an output gear that meshes with an input gear in a differential.
