ABSTRACT:
An axle assembly mounts an electric motor to a central housing opposite an input yoke that is driven by an engine. The input yoke is mounted along an axis parallel to the electric motor to alternatively or additionally permit the engine to drive a gear reduction within the axle housing through a planetary gear assembly. Another axle assembly is powered by just an electric motor to provide a relatively lighter duty axle assembly for yet another vehicle configuration.
