Zusammenfassung:	In one aspect, an electric machine is provided. The electric machine includes a housing including at least one air intake, an air outlet, and an air passage extending between the at least one air intake and the air outlet. The electric machine also includes a first heat sink positioned at least partially within the air passage, and a second heat sink positioned at least partially within the air passage downstream of the first heat sink. A cooling airflow through the at least one air intake flows through the air passage to cool the first heat sink and the second heat sink before the cooling airflow is exhausted through the air outlet.
