Abstract
A method for operating an off-highway vehicle, comprising: receiving a torque request; rotating a first wheel at a first speed via a first side motor based on the torque request, wherein the first side motor is positioned coaxially with respect to the first wheel; and rotating a second wheel at a second speed via a second side motor based on the torque request, wherein the second side motor is positioned coaxially with respect to the second wheel.

A method for operating an off-highway vehicle, comprising:
- receiving a torque request;
- rotating a first wheel at a first speed via a first side motor based on the torque request, wherein the first side motor is positioned coaxially with respect to the first wheel;
- and
- rotating a second wheel at a second speed via a second side motor based on the torque request, wherein the second side motor is positioned coaxially with respect to the second wheel.
An off-highway vehicle system, comprising:
- an operator input device;
- a first wheel coupled to a first side of an off-highway vehicle;
- a second wheel coupled to a second side of the off-highway vehicle;
- a first wheel end driveline positioned coaxially with respect to the first wheel, where the first wheel end driveline comprises a first side wheel end motor and a first brake housing, the first side wheel end motor coupled to the first brake housing;
- a second wheel end driveline positioned coaxially with respect to the second wheel, where the second wheel end driveline comprises a second side wheel end motor and a second brake housing, the second side wheel end motor coupled to the second brake housing.
An off-highway vehicle system, comprising:
- an operator input device;
- a first wheel end driveline coupled to a first side of a vehicle frame, wherein the first wheel end driveline comprises a first side wheel end motor and first side planetary reduction gear assembly that are coaxially positioned with respect to a first wheel at the first side of the vehicle frame;
- a second wheel end driveline coupled to a second side of the vehicle frame, wherein the second wheel end driveline comprises a second side wheel end motor and a second side planetary reduction gear assembly that are coaxially positioned with respect to a second wheel at the second side of the vehicle frame.
