A power transmission device includes a pinion gear having a large pinion gear and a small pinion gear, a carrier that supports the pinion gear, a ring gear that engages with the small pinion gear, an oil supply unit positioned above a horizontal line that passes through a revolution center of the pinion gear, and a downstream side wall part facing a gear surface of the large pinion gear. The downstream side wall part is arranged to be adjacent to the oil supply unit further downstream in a revolution direction of the pinion gear than the oil supply unit when viewed from an axial direction.

A gearbox for an electric powertrain, said gearbox comprising a primary shaft, on which are arranged a first primary gear which is fixed in rotation with respect to the primary shaft, a second primary gear and a third primary gear and a secondary shaft, on which are arranged a first secondary gear that is meshing with the first primary gear and that is by default free to rotate around the secondary shaft, a second secondary gear meshing with the second primary gear and a third secondary gear meshing with the third primary gear. The gearbox further includes a first coupling member, which is arranged along the secondary shaft and which can be moved between an engaged position, in which it couples the first secondary gear in rotation with the secondary shaft and a neutral position.

An electric drive for a motor vehicle includes: a drive housing with a motor housing section and a motor chamber. A stator and a rotor, the rotor being rotatably mounted relative to the stator by a rotor shaft, are arranged in the motor chamber. The electric drive also includes a parking lock with an engagement mechanism configured to lock the rotor shaft relative to the drive housing is arranged in the electric drive.

A power transmission device includes a gear mechanism, a wall part that overlaps with the gear mechanism in an axial direction, a plate provided between the wall part and the gear mechanism in the axial direction, and a park lock mechanism. The park lock mechanism has a parking pawl on a side of a surface of the plate facing the wall part. The park lock mechanism has a manual shaft and/or a detent mechanism on a side of a surface of the plate facing the gear mechanism.

Gearboxes for a skid steered vehicle including layouts in which all electric propulsion drive motors and electric steering motors are located on one side of the gearbox, and layouts in which the drive inputs of the electric propulsion drive motors are located face to face. Gear change units and gear packaging configurations suitable for such gearboxes.

A drive unit for a skid steered vehicle includes a controlled differential positioned between two shafts. The end of each shaft forms an output of the drive unit connected directly to the differential outputs via the shafts. A steer motor is in driveable communication with the differential, and an electric propulsion motor is in driveable communication with the shaft outputs. A gear reduction unit, and optional gear change unit, is positioned between the differential and the electric propulsion motor. The electric propulsion motor, the gear reduction unit and optional gear change unit are connected in a parallel connection with an output of the differential to the shaft outputs. The optional gear change unit includes an epicyclic gear reduction unit having an input and an output which provides drive input from the gear change unit to the shaft. A gear change set has a master gear that receives drive output from the electric propulsion motor, and slave gears which are driven by the master gear via one or more gear chains. A dog clutch slideably engages the input of the gear reduction unit and selectively engages with the master gear or slave gears so that the selected position of the dog clutch determines which gear is engaged.

A drive device for driving wheels of a motor vehicle includes a housing, an electric machine with a stator and rotor, a first output shaft for driving a first wheel, and a second output shaft for driving a second wheel. Via a differential transmission, first and second planetary gearsets are drivable by the rotor. First and second differential shafts transfer drive power from the differential transmission to the first and second planetary gearsets. The first differential shaft is mounted rotatably on an input shaft via bearings and the rotor is connected non-rotationally to the input shaft. A stable and non-buckling bearing of the second differential shaft in relation to the rotor is carried out via further bearings arranged on the second differential shaft or in the first differential shaft. The further bearings are arranged spaced apart from one another at least at a distance of twice an average bearing diameter.

An electrically controlled differential gear is disposed between a right front wheel and a left front wheel of a vehicle. The electrically controlled differential gear includes a clutch mechanism that limits a differential operation of the electrically controlled differential gear. A second ECU (control portion) obtains information as to failure associated with actuation of a right front electric brake mechanism. The second ECU obtains a physical amount relating to a required braking force which is applied to the left front wheel and the right front wheel. The second ECU outputs a differential limiting control command for limiting the differential operation of the electrically controlled differential gear to the clutch mechanism (or more specifically, a differential ECU that controls the clutch mechanism) based on the information as to the failure and the physical amount relating to the required braking force.
