An electric machine assembly includes a rotor located at a central axis of the electric machine assembly, the rotor includes a rotor cavity that terminates within the rotor. An shaft is operably connected to the rotor and is configured to operatively connect with a component external to the electrical machine. A clutch is located in the rotor cavity such that when the clutch is engaged rotational energy is transferrable from the rotor to the shaft. An electric machine includes a housing and a rotor disposed in the housing. The rotor defines a rotor cavity. A stator is in operable communication with the rotor. A clutch is located in the rotor cavity configured such that, when engaged, rotational energy is transferrable from the rotor to a component external to the electric machine. |
