<p>The disclosure describes an electric drive assembly having an electric motor which is arranged in a motor housing and a fan which is arranged on an end face of the motor housing. The fan generates a cooling air flow that removes heat from the electric motor. An electronic controller with electronic components controls or regulates the electric motor. A box-shaped motor panel sits on the motor housing and houses the electronic components. The heat generated during operating of the electronic components can be discharged by means of the motor panel to a heat sink which is in thermally conductive contact with the motor panel.</p>
