Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003101765
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An electric motor axle assembly comprising an electric motor; a gear shaft; and an output shaft. The electric motor having a pinion shaft extending therefrom. The electric motor is adapted to rotate the pinion shaft about a first axis. The pinion shaft comprising a pinion gear. The gear shaft defining a second axis at least substantially parallel to the first axis. The gear shaft having disposed thereon a first gear and a second gear such that rotation of the gear shaft about the second axis induces rotation in the first gear and in the second gear. The first gear is adapted to engage the pinion gear. The output shaft defining a third axis. The third axis is at least substantially parallel to the first axis. The output shaft comprising a third gear. The third gear is adapted to engage the second gear. The output shaft comprising at least a portion of a constant velocity joint. The present invention also includes a tow-motor electric axle and vehicles comprising same.
