    Power Drive in Automotive

    A drive system in an automobile transfers power from the engine to the wheels, enabling the vehicle to run. The main types of drive systems are front-engine rear-wheel drive, front-engine front-wheel drive, rear-engine rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive. Front-engine rear-wheel drive places the engine in the front and transfers power to the rear wheels. Front-engine front-wheel drive transfers power directly from the front-mounted engine to the front wheels. Rear-engine rear-wheel drive has the engine in the rear connected directly to the rear axle. Four-wheel drive transfers torque from the engine to both the front and rear axles.

    Power Drive in

    automotive

    Prepared By- Govind Kumar


    What is a drive system ? Why is it
    necessary?

    A drive system in an automobile is the system where


    power from
    the engine is transferred to the wheels.
    Without a drive system the automobile cannot run or
    be useful.
    Proper Drive systems place a very important for
    good grip of the
    vehicle to the ground to enable smooth handling
    and better
    Types of Drive Systems

    Front Engine & Rear Wheel Drive


    Front Engine & Front Wheel Drive
    Rear Engine & Rear Wheel Drive
    Four Wheel Drive
    Front Engine & Rear Wheel Drive

    In these type of Drives the Power from the engine is


    transmitted by a shaft to the rear wheels in order to
    drive the Vehicle
    Advantages
     Better handling in dry conditions
     Less costly and easier maintenance
     Even weight distribution

    Disadvantages
     More difficult to master
     Decreased interior space
     Increased weight
    Front Engine & Front Wheel Drive

    In This type of Drive The Power from the front engine


    is transmitted directly to the front wheel. Here a long
    Shaft is not needed to transmit power.
    Advantages
     Interior space is
    increased
     Weight is less
     Cost is less and better
    mileage
    Disadvantages
     The center of gravity of the vehicle is typically
    farther forward
     Torque steer can be a problem on front wheel
    drive cars with higher torque engines ( > 210
    NM ) and transverse layout
    Rear Engine & Rear Wheel Drive

    •Engine and differential is connected to the rear axil


    and controlling is done from rear axil.
    •There is no need of propeller shaft.
    Advantages
     Weight over the drive wheels - Benefit is
    increased traction, especially while accelerating
     Packaging - Benefit is more space for
    passengers or cargo (more on this later)

    Disadvantages
    The disadvantage to a rear weight bias is that the car
    can become unstable and tend to over steer when
    decelerating (whether braking or lifting off the
    throttle). In turns, this tendency is much more
    pronounced, to the point that even letting off the
    throttle slightly while turning can cause the rear tires
    to suddenly lose grip
    Four Wheel Drive

    In four wheel drive differential is attached on both the


    sides of the shaft and the torque from the engine is
    transferred to both the eyes.
    Advantages
    All Wheel Drive (or AWD) is a system in which all four
    wheels of a car operate simultaneously to improve
    traction and handling. While it is possible for a car to
    have continuous AWD capabilities, it is far more
    common for one pair of wheels to engage only when
    sensors detect that the other pair has begun to slip.
