Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for a differential lock assembly for a motorized vehicle. In one example, the differential lock assembly includes a cam gear driven by an electric motor via a transmission of the assembly. The cam gear presses a biasing member against a clutch ring in order to couple a first axle half shaft of the vehicle to a carrier of a differential, and to rotate the first axle half shaft at a same speed as a second axle half shaft driven by the differential.
