Provided is a utility vehicle including a seat, an engine disposed rearward of the seat, and a supercharger disposed between the seat and the engine.

An electromechanical drive arrangement for a motor vehicle includes an electromechanical main drive motor, a reduction transmission device which comprises a transmission input, a transmission output, at least one reduction stage and a transmission housing which accommodates the reduction stage, an axial differential transmission for splitting the drive power, which is guided by means of the reduction stage, between a first and a second wheel drive train section, and an auxiliary assembly which can be driven by the main drive motor by means of the reduction stage. The auxiliary assembly is arranged outside the transmission housing. A switching element is provided in the transmission housing such that the drive connection from the reduction stage to the axial differential transmission can be closed in a switchable manner and can be disconnected in a switchable manner.

A transmission apparatus of a hybrid vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a planetary gear set including a first rotation element connected to an engine, a second rotation element connected to a first motor/generator, and a third rotation element connected to a second motor/generator. An output gear is connected to any one of the second and third rotation elements and a two-way clutch is mounted at the first rotation element. The clutch limits D stage rotation in a first side direction or limits R stage rotation in a second side direction selectively based on a position of a lever. Accordingly, the clutch performs a failsafe function by preventing a shifting stage from being applied to the R stage when the engine is driven.

The present disclosure generally relates to an omni-direction wheel system and methods for controlling the omni-direction wheel system. The omni-direction wheel system includes a plurality of suspension systems that operate independently of one another. Each suspension system may include an electromagnetic steering hub configured to rotate a wheel 360 degrees about a vertical axis based on a polarity of an electromagnetic signal applied to the electromagnetic steering hub. The suspension system may further include an in-wheel motor configured to rotate with the wheel and drive the wheel about a horizontal axis.
