The drivetrain of a
vehicle allows efficient transmission of rotational force from the
engine to the wheel and hence the ground. The drive system consists
of a series of gears, driveshafts, and differential units to
transmit power to the wheels. Most systems consist of a
transmission, a driveshaft, and a differential unit contained
within an axle. Four wheel drive systems add another differential,
driveshaft, and a transfer case between the transmission and the
driveshafts.
