It uses some sort of power transfer gearbox. I don't know the details, but I suspect its gear-driven, since these were all transit certified for a 10-year operating life.
There's really no way to add rear power. The driveline would end up above the floor, and there's no rear axle. It has independent trailing arms. The only think I can think of hydraulic drive, running a pump off the PTO (even they ordered it with one, and it's not used for the air compressor) or maybe electric hub-motors.
