Patent attributes
A hybrid axle assembly that includes a housing assembly, a differential assembly received in the housing assembly, and an inside-out motor. The differential assembly is rotatable about a differential axis and has a differential input and a pair of differential outputs. The inside-out motor has a stator, which is fixedly coupled to the housing, and a rotor. The stator is disposed circumferentially about the differential input. The rotor is disposed circumferentially about the stator such that the stator is disposed radially between the differential input and the rotor. The rotor is drivingly coupled to the differential input.
