  • AUTOMATED MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION AND SYSTEM FOR MEDIUM-DUTY COMMERCIAL ELECTRIC VEHICLES
    Publication number: 20190186618
    Abstract: A modular transmission system selectively coupled to an electric motor arranged on a vehicle according to a first example of the present disclosure includes a front housing, a first rear housing and a second rear housing. The front housing has a transmission motor mount and at least one transmission chassis mount. The transmission motor mount is configured to mount the front housing relative to the electric motor. The first rear housing has a first gear set. The first rear housing is configured to selectively couple to the front housing to provide first gear ratios in the first modular transmission configuration. The second rear housing has a second gear set. The second rear housing is configured to selectively couple to the front housing to provide second gear ratios in the second modular transmission configuration.
