An oil cooled electric drive module for hybrid vehicles includes an AC motor assembly having a shaft parallel to an output shaft, with the shafts being interconnected by a set of helical reduction gears. The motor shaft is provided with a rotary union for cooling oil that passes first axially and then radially through the shaft to an outer circumferential surface thereof beneath the core of a rotor attached thereto. The cooling oil passes beneath the rotor to the outer ends thereof, where annular deflectors disburse the oil to provide a coanda effect over the shorting rings of the rotor, onto the stator windings, and thence onto the motor housing for return to a cooling sump, which may include hydraulic and electric pumps for further desired cooling circulation. The invention also includes solenoid valves for shifting a splined collar between positions of interconnection and disconnection between the motor shaft and output shaft. The module of the invention is adapted for interpositioning within the drive shaft of a motor vehicle, with the output shaft of the module being connected at opposite ends to the vehicle drive shaft. The module is employed in various drive systems employing segmented shafts and multiple gear ratio clutch and gear assemblies. The clutch assemblies are of the dog type, and are spring loaded with a neutral position, hydraulic cushioning and synchronized control. The clutch assemblies operate for various interconnections between the various segments of a drive shaft and the shafts of one or more motor/generators.
