An electric drive for driving a driving axle of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a housing assembly;
- an electric machine having a motor shaft configured as a hollow shaft that is supported in the housing assembly so as to be rotatable around a rotational axis;
- a transmission unit with a transmission shaft which is rotatingly drivable by the motor shaft, and which is supported in the housing assembly so as to be rotatable around a rotational axis extending parallel to the rotational axis;
- a double clutch unit having a clutch carrier rotatingly drivable by the transmission shaft, a plate package and a first clutch hub for driving a first output shaft, as well as a second plate package and a second clutch hub for driving a second output shaft, wherein one of the two output shafts extends through the hollow shaft of the electric machine;
- wherein the clutch carrier is rotatingly supported in the housing assembly coaxially relative to the rotational axis of the motor shaft and comprises a casing portion that forms a receiving chamber for the first and the second plate package, as well as a first cover portion and a second cover portion that laterally delimit the receiving chamber of the clutch carrier and each comprise a sleeve projection for supporting the clutch carrier in the housing assembly;
- a first actuator for loading the first plate package, wherein the first actuator is arranged outside the clutch carrier and is axially supported on the housing assembly in a first direction, wherein a first force transmitting member is provided for transmitting an axial force generated by the actuator to the first plate package arranged in the clutch carrier, wherein the first cover portion comprises a plurality of circumferentially distributed first through-apertures through which cams of the first force transmitting member extend;
- a second actuator for loading the second plate package, wherein the second actuator is arranged outside the clutch carrier and is axially supported on the housing assembly in a second direction, wherein a second force transmitting member is provided for transmitting an axial force generated by the actuator to the second plate package arranged in the clutch carrier, wherein the second cover portion comprises a plurality of circumferentially distributed second through-apertures through which cams of the second force transmitting member extend;
- wherein the first actuator and the second actuator are controllable independently of one another by a control unit, so that a first torque transmitted from the first plate package to the first clutch hub and a second torque transmitted from the second plate package to the second clutch hub can be variably set independently of one another.
