Abstract: An integrated electric power take-off includes an electric motor that is driven by an electric motor of an electric vehicle, a hydraulic pump or a similar device that is adapted to operate a rotatably driven accessory provided on the electric vehicle, and a geartrain system connected between the electric motor and the hydraulic pump. The geartrain system is an integral portion of the integrated electric power take-off that permits an optimal selection of the electric motor and the hydraulic pump to be made for each specific application.
