Motor vehicle drive, has electric motor integrated into wheel with rotor mounted on wheel hub

摘要

The motor vehicle drive has an electric motor mounted in a wheel hub with the axle mounting (2) supporting the motor stator. The motor rotor is mounted on the wheel hub (1). The magnetic field sources (9-11) for the motor are positioned in a gap defined between the wheel bearings and the hub. The magnets can be formed integrally with the axis.
