AXLE ASSEMBLY DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS

A method of operating an electrified axle assembly includes selecting a reduction stage of a multistage reduction gear set in a split transmission assembly that is longitudinally split across the axle assembly. The method further includes selecting, corresponding to the selected reduction stage, a gear set from a plurality of selectable gear sets to cooperate with the selected reduction stage and provide one of at least three distinct transmission ratios.
