Abstract
A power transfer assembly is described for power transmission from a power source to one or more rotating components. The power transfer assembly includes a power source capable of providing torque output, a first one-way clutch configured to receive torque input from the power source, and a second one-way clutch configured to receive torque input from the power source. The first one-way clutch is configured to transmit at least a first portion of the received torque input to a first half-axle. The second one-way clutch is configured to transmit at least a second portion of the received torque input to a second half-axle.
