Methods and systems for a multi-ratio gear box and four speed transmission are provided. In one example, a first shaft is coupled to one or more input speed reduction gear sets. A second shaft is coupled to a multi-range clutch having a first position and a second position allowing for two speeds. A third shaft is coupled to a low-speed clutch and a fourth shaft is coupled to a high-speed clutch, together doubling the number of speeds. The high and low-speed clutches provide a large gear spread that allow the multi-range clutches to have a reduced gear spread, overall reducing the required size of the transmission. A fifth shaft, coupled to the fourth shaft via a gear, may be an output shaft spaced away from the electric motors, thereby creating a short flange to flange distance.
