Abstract: An integrated electronic drive unit constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure includes a differential, a first axle, a second axle and a secondary power system. The differential includes a ring gear fixed for concurrent rotation with a differential case. The differential has a plurality of pinion gears rotatably mounted to the differential case and meshed with first and second side gears. The first axle is coupled to the first side gear. The second axle is coupled to the second side gear. The secondary power system is selectively engageable to at least one of the first and second axles. The integrated electronic drive unit is operable in an open differential mode, a braking mode, an electric vehicle start mode and a torque vectoring mode.

Abstract: A differential comprises a first side gear and a second side gear facing the first side gear. A pinion gear set can be between the first side gear and the second side gear. A cam plate comprises a ramped side facing a ramped side of the first side gear. A first lock plate comprises a first side abutting a second side of the cam plate. The first lock plate further comprises a toothed side. A second lock plate comprises a toothed side facing the toothed side of the first lock plate.

Abstract: A hydraulic coupling for use in a vehicle drive train having a fluid path which extends between the housing of the hydraulic coupling and a coupling mechanism. The fluid path includes a first aperture formed in the housing with a first diameter and a longitudinal axis, as well as a second aperture formed in the coupling mechanism. A rigid conduit extends between the first and second apertures with a first portion having a diameter that is less than the first diameter of the first aperture so as to define an adjustment gap that allows the rigid conduit to move out of alignment with the longitudinal axis in response to misalignment between the first and second apertures. In addition, the rigid conduit provides resistance to torque imposed upon the coupling mechanism.
