A number of variations may include a product comprising an electrical machine operatively connected to a driveline module comprising a gear train having a fixed gear ratio, a first planetary gear set having multiple gear ratios operatively connected to the gear train, a second planetary gear set having a fixed gear ratio operatively connected to the first planetary gear set, and a synchronizer operatively connected to the first planetary gear set and which is positioned between the first and second planetary gear set; a differential operatively connected to the second planetary gear set; wherein the electrical machine selectively transmits power to the differential through the gear train, first planetary gear set, synchronizer, and second planetary gear set, and wherein the synchronizer is constructed and arranged to shift the driveline module into a high, low, and a neutral mode through placement of a ring gear of the first planetary gear set.
A product comprising:
A product comprising an electrical machine operatively connected to a driveline module, and an axle assembly having a centerline support shaft operatively connected to the driveline module, wherein the driveline module comprises a helical gear train, a first helical planetary gear set operatively connected to the helical gear train, a synchronizer operatively connected to the first helical planetary gear set, and a second helical planetary gear set adjacent the synchronizer and operatively connected to the first helical planetary gear set and the axle assembly;
A method of driving an axle differential comprising:
