2-speed axle
- Type of rear drive axle offering two reduction ratios and a control mechanism for selecting either ratio at the driver’s discretion
- “Lo” axle range (the higher numerical ratio) provides maximum pulling power
- “Hi” range (the lower numerical ratio) provides maximum road speed
- 2-speed rear axle permits split-shifting in the lower transmission gears to obtain evenly spaced gear steps that optimize available engine power
- 2-speed axle can be used in Lo range for crisp performance at slower speeds or in Hi range for maximum economy on the highway.
