Claim:
A motorized vehicle comprising: a drive axle operatively connected to a motor to receive a driving torque; a first clutch pack assembly located between the drive axle and a first drive wheel, wherein the first clutch pack assembly includes a first forward clutch arrangement associated with a forward direction of travel and a first reverse clutch arrangement associated with a reverse direction of travel, and wherein at a first steering angle the first clutch pack assembly selectively transfers a first portion of the driving torque to the first drive wheel in a direction of travel selected from the forward direction and the reverse direction; and a second clutch pack assembly located between the drive axle and a second drive wheel, wherein the second clutch pack assembly includes a second forward clutch arrangement and a second reverse clutch arrangement, wherein the second clutch pack assembly selectively transfers a second portion of the driving torque to the second drive wheel in the selected direction of travel, wherein the first portion corresponds to a different amount of the driving torque than the second portion at the first steering angle, and wherein at a second steering angle the first clutch pack assembly is configured to apply clutch pack braking to the first drive wheel when the second clutch pack assembly transfers substantially all of the driving torque to the second drive wheel.
