1 TWINSTER® rear drive unit
The TWINSTER® rear drive unit is a disconnect
all-wheel drive system that disengages the rear wheels
when it is not needed.
The rear drive unit contains two multi-plate clutches
which are able to transmit engine torque to the rear
wheels. The two clutches can be actuated on a
wheel-specific basis using an electro-hydraulic servo
drive and two control valves.
