Claim 20:
21. A drive arrangement for a vehicle, the drive arrangement comprising:
a rotatable interface arranged to be mounted to the vehicle, wherein the rotatable interface is rotatably coupled to a mounting arm to allow continuous rotation of the mounting arm in a clockwise and anti clockwise direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal and transverse axis of the vehicle; and
a first electric motor having a stator and a rotor, wherein the stator is coupled to the mounting arm to allow the axis of the rotor to be substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis of the rotatable interface, wherein the rotor is arranged to be coupled to a wheel of the vehicle to allow the electric motor to provide drive torque to the wheel;
wherein the fluid means includes a first fluid element and a second fluid element, wherein the rotational orientation of the first fluid element is fixed with respect to the vehicle and the rotational orientation of the second fluid element is fixed with respect to the rotatable interface.
