Abstract: In a transfer, a high thrust can be given to a front-wheel driving clutch by a high magnification function of a screw mechanism. Further, a necessary stroke for an operation of a high-low switching mechanism can be obtained by the screw mechanism. Accordingly, with the use of one motor, the screw mechanism, and a transmission mechanism, it is possible to perform a switching operation of the high-low switching mechanism and a torque adjustment of the front-wheel driving clutch by the same system. Hereby, it is possible to perform, with accuracy, the switching operation of the high-low switching mechanism and the torque adjustment of the front-wheel driving clutch, based on a motor rotation angle Am of one motor.

Abstract: When the fuel supply to an internal combustion engine has stopped due to a vehicle starting to decelerate or the like, and the speed of the vehicle is greater than a predetermined speed, then a controller causes a power generator to operate in a first power generating mode. The controller charges a capacitor by using regenerative power that is output from the power generator to supply power from the power generator to the capacitor via a DC-DC converter. When the stopping of the fuel supply to the internal combustion engine is cancelled as a result of the engine revolution speed reaching a predetermined revolution speed (for example, an idling revolution speed) in conjunction with the speed of the vehicle dropping to the predetermined speed, the power generator can be kept in the first power generating mode.
