Electric drive axle (100), comprising a first and a second drive shaft (10, 20) being axially aligned, an electric drive module (110) and a differential module (150), wherein the electric drive module (110) comprises an electric motor (111) and a planetary gear set (120), wherein both the electric motor (111) and the planetary gear set (120) are coaxially arranged about the drive shafts (10, 20), wherein output means (130) of the electric drive module (110) is connected to input means (151) of the differential module (150), wherein the input means (151) is or can be set in drive connection with the right and left drive shaft (10, 20), such that a drive force generated by the electric drive module (110) can be transferred to the first and/or second drive shaft (10, 20), wherein the electric drive axel (100) comprises a coupling (131) between the output means (130) and the input means (151), wherein the coupling (131) is arranged to allow for the output means (130) and the input means (151) to slide into engagement in an axial direction. 2. Electric drive axle (100) according to claim 1, wherein the electric drive module (110) and the differential module (150) is provided with separate housings (140, 170) and that seals (141) are provided at least between the electric drive modules output means (130) and/or the differential modules input means (160) and one of the housings (140, 170), such that each housing (140, 170) is a separate sealed volume.
