PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a non-slip differential for eliminating the waste of driving force, improving controllability, fuel consumption, travelling stability and road ability and suppressing the wear of a tire by improving a current non-slip differential which cannot determine slip during turn or during straight run when there is a travel distance difference between right and left driving wheels. SOLUTION: The steering angle of a steering device is linked with the movement of the non-slip differential to automatically determine straight run or turn without giving burden to a driver. Right and left driving wheel axles are connected directly to each other during straight run and mechanical rotating load is applied to a side gear on the turning inside corresponding to the steering angle independently of a road travel resistance difference during turn to properly distribute driving fore to the right and left driving wheel axles. Rotation sensors are mounted on the right and left driving wheel axles for comparing an actual rotating speed ratio between the right and left driving wheel axles with a calculated ideal rotating speed ratio and feedbacking an error to the size of the rotating load to actualize an approximately ideal turning track.
