Abstract
A drive torque received from a power source is split and output to first and second output shafts through a torque vectoring apparatus including a torque vectoring device that controls a torque ratio of split torques, where the torque vectoring device includes a control motor, a first compound planetary gear set including first and second planetary gear sets having a first rotation element fixed to a housing, a shared second rotation element connected to the first output shaft, and a third rotation element, and a second compound planetary gear set including third and fourth planetary gear sets having a shared fourth rotation element connected to the second output shaft, a fifth rotation element connected to a third rotation element, and a sixth rotation element connected to the control motor.
