DIFFERENTIAL GEAR AND DRIVE TRAIN WITH SUCH A DIFFERENTIAL GEAR
A differential gear with an input side that can be rotated about an axis of rotation, which has a rotary drive contour for the rotary drive engagement with a drive wheel and at least one pinion gear that can be rotated about a pinion axle, and an output side that can be rotated about the axis of rotation, which has a first axle wheel and a second axle wheel which are in rotary drive engagement with the at least one pinion gear, wherein the input side has a rotary drive section on which the rotary drive contour is provided, and a support section on which the at least one pinion gear is arranged. The rotary drive section and the support section can optionally be brought into a rotary drive connection with one another by means of a shiftable pawl freewheel.

Control and diagnostic method for a differential system
Methods and systems for a differential assembly are provided herein. In one example, a diagnostic method includes generating a clutch fault according to a variance between an initial engagement position and a lock point position of a clutch motor that occur during engagement of an interaxle differential (IAD) locking clutch coupled to the clutch motor. In the IAD system, an actuation assembly is coupled to the clutch motor and the IAD locking clutch.
Differential locking system
A differential locking system that can rotationally lock a shift fork and a sliding clutch assembly to ensure correct engagement of an axle shaft with a sliding clutch assembly during reassembly of an axle shaft. The differential locking system includes a first portion of a push rod is selectively engaged with a portion of the shift fork and a second portion of the push rod is selectively engaged with a portion of a carrier housing.

Multi-purpose vehicle
A multi-purpose vehicle is disclosed that includes a mode change switch for operating a travel mode of a vehicle body and a mode control device for switching the travel mode of the vehicle body in response to an operation of the mode change switch. The mode control device switches the travel mode of the vehicle body between a two-wheel engine driving mode in which only an engine is driven, a two-wheel motor driving mode in which only a motor is driven, a four-wheel hybrid driving mode in which both of the engine and the motor are driven, and an OFF-mode in which none of the engine and the motor is driven.
