The interior compartment is adapted to house an appropriate torque transfer mechanism, such as constant four-wheel-drive, or “on-demand” four-wheel-drive, providing rear or front wheel drive (two-wheel-drive mode), or four wheel drive (four-wheel-drive mode), controlled automatically or manually by a vehicle operator.
