Abstract:
A driveline system comprising a prime mover configured to provide torque to at least a first group of wheels; an electric machine configured to provide torque to at least a second group of wheels; a torque transfer drive comprising a first side and a second side and configured to enable torque generated by the prime mover to be provided from the first side to the second side for provision to the second group of wheels; a first disconnect device configured to, in a first connect configuration, transmit torque from the prime mover to the first side of the torque transfer drive and, in a first disconnect configuration, prevent transmission of torque from the prime mover to the first side of the torque transfer drive; and a second disconnect device configured to, in a second connect configuration, transmit torque between the electric machine and the second side of the torque transfer drive and, in a second disconnect configuration, prevent transmission of torque between the electric machine and the second side of the torque transfer drive.
