GEAR ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE

A gearing assembly for a vehicle drivetrain. The assembly includes a first shaft rotating about a first shaft axis; a second shaft with a second shaft axis parallel to the first shaft axis; a first freewheel clutch gear mounted to the first shaft; a second gear mounted to the first shaft; a third freewheel clutch gear mounted to the second shaft and engaged with the second gear; and a fourth gear mounted to the second shaft and engaged with the first gear. When the first shaft rotational speed is greater than the second shaft rotational speed, the first shaft drives the second shaft via the second and third gear, the first gear being overrun; and when the second shaft rotational speed is greater than the first shaft rotational speed, the second shaft drives the first shaft via the fourth and first gear, the third gear being overrun.
