Abstract
An axle drive unit may be employed by an electrically-driven motor vehicle having at least one drive axle. The axle drive unit may have at least one electric motor for generating a drive torque and at least one gearing (or transmission) for transmitting the drive torque to the drive axle. The electric motor and the gearing may form a structural unit. In short, the axle drive unit allows a drive train of a motor vehicle to have the simplest, weight-saving construction possible. Power electronics and an inductive charging receiver for a battery system may be integrated into the structural unit. The power electronics may be electrically connected to the inductive charging receiver and may be tuned to rectify an alternating voltage that can be induced in the inductive charging receiver.
