In￿the￿direction￿of￿travel￿on￿the￿left￿an￿engine￿support￿arm￿connects￿the￿housing￿of￿the￿electrical
machine￿to￿the￿rear￿axle￿module.￿This￿engine￿support￿arm￿serves￿not￿only￿to￿absorb￿the￿weight
force￿of￿the￿drive￿unit.￿Via￿this￿engine￿support￿arm￿the￿drive￿torque￿is￿also￿transmitted￿to￿the￿rear
axle￿module￿and￿ultimately￿supported￿at￿the￿body.￿The￿entire￿drive￿unit￿(electrical￿machine,￿electrical
machine￿electronics￿and￿transmission)￿is￿also￿connected￿to￿the￿rear￿axle￿module￿via￿the￿anti-roll￿bar
link.
If￿the￿electrical￿machine￿has￿to￿be￿removed,￿the￿entire￿rear￿axle￿must￿be￿removed￿beforehand.￿This￿also
applies￿to￿the￿removal￿of￿the￿transmission￿and￿the￿electrical￿machine￿electronics.￿Only￿then￿can￿the
additional￿supports￿be￿removed￿from￿the￿housings￿and￿the￿individual￿components￿also￿removed.
The￿EKK￿is￿secured￿to￿the￿electrical￿machine￿using￿three￿screws.
