• a control arrangement configured to operate the motors to apply torque to the first gear,
• wherein the first and second output gears are offset with respect to one another in a direction of the longitudinal axis such that each output gear simultaneously engages a single set of teeth of the first gear at axially displaced regions, configured to produce a partial overlap of contact areas on individual teeth of the single set of teeth of the first gear.
