ELECTRIC AXLE WITH MOTOR POWER UNIT

A motor power unit is provided. The motor power unit includes, in one example, a traction motor that includes an output shaft and a motor face circumferentially surrounding the output shaft. The motor power unit further includes a heat exchanger in fluidic communication with a cooling system that is configured to circulate coolant through a hydraulic manifold and a housing at least partially enclosing the traction motor and the heat exchanger. In the motor power unit, the housing includes a body with multiple mounting support tabs, the multiple mounting support tabs each include a hole with a central axis that is parallel to the rotational axis of the output shaft, and the motor face is configured to pilot to a gearbox housing in a gearbox via a pilot component.
