1. An electro-hydraulic actuation group for an automotive servo-assisted mechanical transmission, the electro-hydraulic actuation group comprising an electro-hydraulic actuation unit, a power unit able to provide hydraulic pressure to the actuation unit and an electronic control unit, the power unit comprising first components including a pump and an electric motor for operating the pump and the actuation unit comprising a hydraulic casing, second components comprising hydraulic, electrical and/or electro-hydraulic components mounted in the hydraulic casing, and a hydraulic circuit fluidically connected to the pump to supply, in use, a fluid under pressure to the second hydraulic and/or electro-hydraulic components; the hydraulic casing comprising a first and a second shell, which are rigidly connected to each other and define at least part of said hydraulic circuit therebetween; the first shell having an outer surface located on the side of the hydraulic casing facing away from the second shell and provided with seats for respective electro-hydraulic valves, which are part of said second components and are configured to actuate respective servo-assisted members of the transmission; the first components being mounted directly on said outer surface of the hydraulic casing and defining, together with the second components, a single assembly, the second components comprising a feed filter that is mounted on the first shell and has an inlet directly coupled to a delivery side of the pump, and an outlet on the first shell and fluidically communicating with a feed line of the hydraulic circuit, and the first components comprising a suction filter, which is mounted on the first shell beneath the pump, is arranged at the side of, and parallel to, the feed filter and has an outlet that is directly coupled to a suction inlet of the pump and an inlet that is directly coupled to an opening obtained on the first shell and communicating in a fluidic manner with a discharge line of the hydraulic circuit; said opening being arranged on the first shell such that the suction point of the suction filter is the lowest point of a collection system for a working fluid of the hydraulic circuit when the electro-hydraulic actuation group is mounted on a vehicle, wherein the seats of the electro-hydraulic valves extend in respective directions parallel to each other and to a direction of assembly of the electro-hydraulic valves; the pump and the motor being mutually aligned along an axis parallel to said direction of assembly; the suction filter and the feed filter being arranged to extend transversal to said direction of assembly. |
