Abstract:
1. An electric drive system, comprising: an electric motor arranged to rotate a drive shaft; a differential comprising a first planetary gear being drivingly connected to a first output assembly; a second planetary gear configuration being in driving engagement with said first planetary gear configuration via an output shaft, said second planetary configuration being drivingly connected to a second output assembly; a transmission in driving engagement with said drive shaft and said output shaft; and a rotational speed change module configured to provide change in rotational speed of said output shaft, wherein said motor is disposed between said first and second planetary gear configuration, wherein said first planetary gear configuration is arranged to co-act with said second planetary gear configuration so as to provide a differential function, wherein said rotational speed change module is disposed on opposite sides of the motor, and wherein the ring gears of the first and second planetary gear configurations are engaged directly via a reversing assembly for said differential function.
