Ford looks to have come up with a new type of all-wheel-drive system.
Ford has filed a patent application for an all-wheel-drive system that uses three clutches to enable more precise control of how much power goes to each wheel.
According to a filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office , the system would use one clutch to couple or decouple an axle from the driveshaft, and the other two clutches to control power flow to individual half shafts on the second axle. A controller would decide when to open and close these clutches, splitting power not only between the front and rear axles—as on many current all-wheel-drive systems—but between the left and right wheels on one axle.In the filing, Ford noted that one goal of all-wheel drive is to"improve vehicle maneuverability," so it's possible this setup would be used as an enhanced form of torque vectoring.
