How does it work? Is the electric drive unit dettached from the ICE, turning a 2WD ICE-only into 4WD in the process of becoming a hybrid?

asymmetric 4WD

Even some full-time AWD setups, usually the ones fitted to sportscars, have an asymmetric bias. BTW when it comes to utility vehicles such as trucks and buses, as the weight bias is often further from 50-50 on them, sometimes it's quite intriguing why asymmetric 4WD was not so common for these applications.

i don't really care as long as it uses less gas

Presumably, asymmetric 4WD would lead to fewer slip under some terrain and load conditions, and then maybe increase fuel-efficiency too.
