A drive module is employed for use in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrain or in a battery electric vehicle (BEV) powertrain. The drive module serves to propel movement of the accompanying hybrid electric vehicle or battery electric vehicle. In an implementation, the drive module includes a housing, an electric motor, a gear assembly, a coolant sump, and a coolant passage. The electric motor has a stator and a rotor. The rotor has a shaft. The gear assembly has its movement driven by the shaft. The coolant passage resides in a wall of the housing. Amid use, coolant is drawn from the coolant sump via the coolant passage.
