TRANSFER CASE

Abstract:

A transfer case for use in a vehicle, with the vehicle including a powertrain, includes an input shaft configured to be rotatably coupled to the powertrain. The transfer case also includes a primary output shaft rotatably coupled to the input shaft, and a secondary output shaft selectively rotatably coupled to the primary output shaft. The transfer case further includes a planetary gearset disposed between and rotatably coupled to the input shaft and the primary output shaft. The transfer case also includes an input member and an electric machine. The input member is rotatably coupled to the electric machine and the input shaft to provide rotational torque from the electric machine, to the input shaft, and to the primary output shaft.
