Abstract: A positive-locking clutch for a motor vehicle comprises a coupling element with a toothing, a rotatable counterpart element with a counterpart toothing, and an electromagnetic actuator. The coupling element can be moved by means of the electromagnetic actuator between a disengaged position and an engaged position, and wherein the toothing of the coupling element is meshed with the counterpart toothing of the counterpart element in the engaged position. Even after the engaged position of the coupling element has been fully reached, a backlash is provided between the toothing of the coupling element and the counterpart toothing of the counterpart element.

Abstract: A method for operating a powertrain of a motor vehicle with two vehicle axles which can be driven by separate drive assemblies, wherein at least one of the two vehicle axles can be driven by an electromotive drive assembly, and wherein the at least one vehicle axle has two wheels and at least three axle portions, wherein a first axle portion has a first wheel, wherein the first and a second axle portion are coupled by a differential gear, wherein the second and a third axle portion are arranged so they can be connected together by a clutch, and wherein the third axle portion has a second wheel. During drive mode of the motor vehicle with the clutch open, the electromotive drive assembly is held at a standby rotation speed under active regulation by an electric drive control unit, wherein the standby rotation speed tracks a synchronization rotation speed.
