Abstract
A system and method for a hybrid electric axle. The hybrid electric axle system, in one example, includes an engine interface assembly with a one-way clutch that is rotationally coupled to an input shaft and a gear shaft in a gear set that is rotationally coupled to a differential and a dog clutch configured to selectively rotationally couple the input shaft and the gear shaft in the gear set. The hybrid electric axle system further includes an electric drive assembly including a traction motor that is rotationally coupled to a gear train. In the electric axle system, the gear train is rotationally coupled to the differential and the engine interface assembly and the electric drive assembly are packaged in an axle housing.
