An electric drive unit has a differential assembly and an actuator. The differential assembly comprises a differential case, a differential gearset, and first and second differential output members, wherein the second differential output member is configured to move between a first position and a second position. The actuator has an actuator fork that engages an actuation flange, wherein the actuation flange is moved by the actuator. Una unidad de accionamiento eléctrico tiene un ensamble diferencial y un actuador. El ensamble diferencial comprende una caja diferencial, un juego de engranajes diferencial y un primer y segundo miembros de salida diferenciales, en donde el segundo miembro de salida diferencial está configurado para moverse entre una primera posición y una segunda posición. El actuador tiene una horquilla del actuador que se engancha con una brida de actuación, en donde la brida de actuación es movida por medio del actuador.
