An axle assembly (10) comprises a first axle shaft (26) orientated along a first axis of rotation (30), a second axle shaft (28) orientated along the first axis of rotation (30) with the first and second axle shafts (26, 28) extending in opposite directions, a first electric machine (14) orientated along a second axis of rotation (32) substantially parallel with the first axis of rotation (30). and a second electric machine (16) spaced from said the electric machine (14) and orientated along a third axis of rotation (34) substantially parallel with the first axis of rotation (30). Furthermore, a common gear reduction (40) is provided, which is rotatable about a fourth axis of rotation (104) and driven by the first and second electric machines (14, 16), and a speed change mechanism (44) is coupled to the common gear reduction (40) to change the rotational torque transferred to the first and second axle shafts (26, 28).
