Abstract
A motor vehicle drive unit and an automotive vehicle comprising such a motor vehicle drive unit are provided. An electric motor has a rotor and a main stator rotatably mounted to a support structure. A first transmission provides an output to a first wheel axle shaft from the rotor. A second transmission provides an output to a second wheel axle shaft from the main stator. An auxiliary stator at least partially surrounds the main stator and is held stationary relative to the main rotatably mounted stator. A control unit is provided for controlling the auxiliary stator to add or subtract power to the main rotatably mounted stator.
