A torque transfer device for distributing torque from an input shaft to a first and a second output shaft driving a first and a second axle of a vehicle, respectively, is disclosed. The torque transfer device comprises a planetary gear system and a first shifting device selectively settable to one of a first position, a second position, and a third position, wherein in the first position, it provides increased output torque via the planetary gear system to the first and second output shafts, in the second position, it provides increased output torque only to the first output shaft, and in the third position, it provides output torque only to the first output shaft, at a direct gear ratio, or at a gear ratio which is lower than in the second position.
A torque transfer device configured to distribute torque from an input shaft to a first and a second output shaft configured to drive a first and a second axle of a vehicle, respectively, wherein the torque transfer device comprises a planetary gear system comprising a sun gear, a ring gear, and a planet gear carrier carrying a plurality of planet gears, and a first shifting device selectively settable to one of a first position, a second position, and a third position, wherein:
