AI Technical Summary
Existing drive systems for electric vehicles, particularly off-road vehicles, do not effectively provide both increased ground clearance and a central drive for multiple axles with permanent or switchable all-wheel drive capabilities.
A drive unit design featuring an electric motor connected to a gearbox with input and output sides axially offset, a distribution unit with multiple outputs, and a differential gear system to distribute drive power to multiple axles, allowing for a compact and high-ground-clearance powertrain with all-wheel drive functionality.
The design achieves increased ground clearance and enables a compact, efficient drive system capable of providing permanent or switchable all-wheel drive for off-road electric vehicles, enhancing their versatility and performance.
