Abstract

A vehicle includes a chassis, a driveline and an accessory coupled to the chassis and configured to receive rotational mechanical energy, a first driver and a second driver coupled to the chassis and configured to provide rotational mechanical energy, and a power transmission device. The power transmission device includes a housing coupled to the chassis, a first input shaft configured to receive the rotational mechanical energy from the first driver, a second input shaft configured to receive the rotational mechanical energy from the second driver, a primary output interface coupled to the driveline, a power takeoff shaft radially aligned with the first input shaft and coupled to the accessory, a first clutch configured to selectively rotationally couple the first input shaft to the primary output interface, and a second clutch configured to selectively rotationally couple the first input shaft to the power takeoff shaft.
