(21) when the engine operated as the revolution power unit (100), the clutches (102), (1016), (1116) and the brake (116) are closed, and the brake (126) is disengaged, in the event of driving down a slope, executing a brake, or an deceleration brake, the damper of the engine operates as the function of a brake.

3. An energy storage type of differential hybrid power distribution system as claimed in claim 1 is further construct the rpm ratios from the revolution power unit (100) respectively delivered to the front wheel (107) and the rear wheel (114) in various layouts of different rpm ratio. In the course of 4WD or all wheel driving or in the event of sliding, if the brake (116) is neither closed nor disposed, when being driven, the rpm between the differential shaft (105) and the differential shaft (110) of the differential hybrid power device (104) are different, including:

the rpm of differential shaft (105) is faster than that of differential shaft (110);

or

the rpm of the differential shaft (110) is faster than that of the differential shaft (105);

at driven as above, the rpm difference between the differential shaft (105) and the differential shaft (110) of the differential hybrid power device (104) serves as the function of a generator to charge the rechargeable device (117) or to supply power to other loads, and further enables the engine being operated at the region having brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), higher fuel efficiency and higher fuel economizing.

4. An energy storage type of differential hybrid power distribution system as claimed in claim 1, when in practical application, the energy storage type of differential hybrid power distribution system of the present invention drives both of the front and the rear wheel sets at the same time, or may only drive the front wheel set or the rear wheel set. Wherein:

the front wheel set includes one or a plurality of circular wheels, or any revolving wheel in a given geometric shape; and

the rear wheel set includes one or a plurality of circular wheels, or any revolving wheel in a given geometric shape.

The wheel set described above includes a track structure.
