From the many four-wheel drive concepts which are possible, a few were chosen and compared with each other, with regard to the criteria of acceleration capability and directional stability under simultaneous traction. As well as the well-known concepts of permanent four-wheel drive (50:50), four-wheel drive with rigid axle connection (with and without rear axle differential lock), and a concept with central differential (33:67) and visco-lock connected in parallel, this paper also deals with a new type of four-wheel concept, in which the drive to the rear axle is fed from the front axle via a visco-coupling as well as a free-wheel mechanism.
