Abstract: An electric vehicle module assembly including a steering actuator sub-assembly connected to a beam axle sub-assembly. The steering actuator sub-assembly provides multiple functions, including the inherent function of the steering actuator to improve the turning radius of the electric vehicle, as well as positioning the center of gravity of the electric vehicle module assembly in a more desirable position such that NVH issues are reduced for the electric vehicle.

Abstract: A rotor assembly includes a torque converter having a housing forming a hydraulic chamber, a rotor for an electric motor, a rotor carrier non-rotatably connected to the rotor, wherein the rotor carrier is fixed to the torque converter housing, and a seal is disposed between the torque converter housing and rotor carrier for sealing therebetween. In some example embodiments, the rotor assembly has at least one bolt for fixing the torque converter housing to the rotor carrier. In some embodiments, the rotor carrier includes an aperture and the at least one bolt is disposed in the aperture.
