Abstract
A drive arrangement for a selectively engageable wheelset includes a clutch and a freewheel arranged in series, one behind the other, between a transmission and the selectively engageable wheelset. The clutch is designed as an overload release clutch, so that overloading of the drive to the selectively engageable wheelset is avoided when the freewheel is engaged. In addition, the clutch will permit interruption of the drive to the selectively engageable wheelset completely and as long as desired. The freewheel can be locked as a function of various operating conditions or upon demand.
