A dual drive unit may include two motors, two power transfer mechanisms, and two output shafts. The output shafts are co-linear. The dual drive unit may include two single drive units, which may be similar to each other, coupled together at a joint, which may optionally include a clutch. A drive unit may be modular, and various components may be combined to provide power to an output shaft. For example, a drive unit may include a differential at a first interface, which may be removable, and two drive units may be coupled together at the first interface. A drive unit may have a Z configuration, wherein a motor on a first side of a vehicle powers a wheel on an opposite side of the vehicle.

Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative controller units, vehicles, and methods. In an illustrative embodiment, a controller unit includes a processor and a memory. The memory is configured to store computer-executable instructions configured to cause the processor to receive a request to perform a mechanical load transition between a motor and a mechanical load, send a torque request to the motor responsive to the received request, receive a motor speed value, determine status of the mechanical load transition responsive to the received request and the motor speed value, and output the determined status.

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a transmission that provide power to a front axle, and fits in taller box to provide more room for the transmission. The transmission can comprise a front input shaft that receives rotational power from an engine. A front output shaft is coupled with a front axle to provide the rotational power, conditioned by the transmission, to the front axle. A rear riser gear set can be couple to the rear of the transmission to provide power from the bottom portion of the transmission to a bevel gear set that couples with, and provide rotational power to, a rear axle. In this way, the space between a rear axle centerline and front axle center line can be used by the transmission, allowing for a taller transmission to fit in the chassis.

A shift gate assembly that can include a shift plate, a gate seal and a shift lever. The shift plate can include a lever opening having an opening centerline. The gate seal can be made of an elastic material and connected to the shift plate and extend along the lever opening. The gate seal can include a slit extending along the lever opening and offset with respect to the opening centerline. The shift lever can extend through the lever opening and the slit, be selectively movable along the lever opening and the slit, and elastically deform the gate seal as the shift lever moves along the slit.

A work vehicle includes a first actuator driving a differential lock device, a second actuator driving the drive-wheel switchover device, a first operational tool for operating driving of the first actuator, a second operational tool for operating driving of the second actuator and a control device. The control device includes a first driving section configured to drive the first actuator in response to a manual operation on the first operational tool and a second driving section configured to drive the second actuator in response to a manual operation on the second operational tool.

A vehicle controller for reducing noise of a differential gear of a vehicle, the vehicle including: a ring gear teeth-engaged with a motor reducer, a differential case connected to the ring gear, a differential assembly including a differential gear provided inside the differential case, and a disconnector device connected to at least one gear among the differential gears, the vehicle controller including: an RPM measuring unit for measuring a speed of one vehicle wheel when the vehicle is driven by two wheels; a speed calculation unit for calculating a speed of the ring gear in consideration of the speed of the one vehicle wheel; and a driving unit for driving the ring gear by controlling the motor reducer based on the speed of the ring gear.

A wheel end disconnect assembly includes a housing, a shift ring, a shift fork and an actuator. The shift ring is supported for axial translation relative to the housing between a connected position in which the shift ring couples an input member to a wheel hub for rotation therewith and a disconnected position in which the input member and the wheel hub are rotatable relative to each other. The shift fork includes a first arm portion, a second arm portion, and an input portion extending from a junction of the first and second arm portions. The shift fork is pivotably coupled to the housing at the junction of the first and second arm portions. The actuator is configured to move the input portion to pivot the first and second arm portions such that the first and second arm portions translate the shift ring between the connected and disconnected positions.
