Abstract
A hybrid motor assembly, including: an axis of rotation; a torque converter; an electric motor including a stator and a rotor; and a rotor carrier. The torque converter includes: a cover arranged to receive torque; an impeller non-rotatably connected to the cover; and a turbine in fluid communication with the impeller. The rotor carrier is connected to the rotor and includes a cooling chamber. The cooling chamber is bounded at least in part by the rotor, is sealed from the stator, and is arranged to receive cooling fluid.
