Abstract: An integrated heat shield and oil deflector for an electric drive unit of an electrified vehicle includes a lower end configured to couple to a skid plate disposed beneath the electric drive unit, an opposite upper end disposed below the engine, and a main body extending between the upper end and the lower end. An oil deflector is formed in the main body and configured to be disposed beneath the engine. The oil deflector is configured to catch oil falling from the engine and direct the oil away from the electric drive unit and the skid plate. The integrated heat shield and oil deflector is configured to be disposed between the electric drive unit and an engine exhaust system to facilitate preventing heat generated by the exhaust system from affecting sensitive electrical components of the electric drive unit.

Abstract: A magnetic transmission system includes an outer gear ring including an outer plurality of permanent magnets and configured to rotate about a rotational drive axis, an inner gear ring positioned within the outer gear ring and including an inner plurality of permanent magnets magnetically coupled to the outer plurality of permanent magnets, and an eccentric bearing assembly configured to convert orbital motion of the inner gear ring about the rotational drive axis into rotational motion of the eccentric bearing assembly about a bearing rotational axis that is radially offset from the rotational drive axis, and a first drive shaft coupled to the outer gear ring and a second drive shaft coupled to the inner gear ring, wherein the outer gear ring and the inner gear ring are configured to provide a gear ratio between the first drive shaft and the second drive shaft.
