A utility vehicle (100) includes a first axle, a second axle, an electric motor (131), an internal combustion engine (102), and a torque transfer device (110). The electric motor (131) drives the first axle in a first direction and a second direction at different times. The internal combustion (102) engine drives a transmission output shaft (111) in one direction. The torque transfer device (110) selectively drives the second axle in the first direction or in the second direction, in response to rotation of the transmission output shaft (111) in the one direction. Said torque transfer device (110) hence provides three modes: forward, reverse and neutral. An additional independent claim is included for a utility vehicle comprising a mechanical throttle linkage.
