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.
