1. A vehicle, comprising:
a chassis including a frame rail extending longitudinally between a front end and a rear end of the chassis;
a plurality of tractive elements coupled to the chassis;
a first electric motor coupled to the chassis and coupled to the tractive elements such that the first electric motor drives the tractive elements to propel the vehicle;
a first shaft coupling the first electric motor to the tractive elements, the first shaft extending along the frame rail toward the tractive elements in a first longitudinal direction;
an accessory module coupled to the chassis and coupled to an output of the first electric motor, wherein the accessory module is configured to receive mechanical energy provided by the first electric motor and provide at least one of electrical energy, compressed gas, or pressurized liquid in response to receiving the mechanical energy provided by the first electric motor;
a second shaft coupling the output of the first electric motor to the accessory module, the second shaft extending along the frame rail toward the accessory module in a second longitudinal direction opposite the first longitudinal direction;
a second electric motor coupled to the chassis; and
at least one planetary gear set mechanically coupling an output of the second electric motor to the first electric motor and the accessory module, such that the accessory module is mechanically driven through the at least one planetary gear set.
