ELECTRIC AXLE AND ELECTRIC AXLE PRODUCT LINE

A system and method for an electric axle. The electric axle includes, in one example, a traction motor, an input planetary gear set arranged coaxial to the traction motor and including a sun gear rotationally coupled to the traction motor, a carrier including a first section coupled to multiple carrier shafts and a second section removably coupled to the multiple carrier shafts, and multiple planet gears rotationally mounted on the multiple carrier shafts. In the electric axle, the second section is rotationally coupled to a downstream component and the downstream component is arranged coaxial to the input planetary gear set.
