Abstract

A power take-off device for a motor vehicle has a drive input, two drive outputs and a clutch. The first drive output channels drive torque from the power take-off device to propel the motor vehicle. The second drive output channels drive torque from the power take-off device to an auxiliary unit to drive the auxiliary unit. The clutch selectively couples the drive input to the first and second drive outputs. The clutch has three shift positions. In the first shift position, the drive input is coupled to the first drive output and decoupled from the second drive output. In the second shift position, the drive input is coupled to the second drive output and decoupled from the first drive output. In the third shift position, the drive input is coupled to both the first and second drive outputs.
