The powertrain (power transmission system) transfers power from the #engine to the wheels.
It is comprised of the following components sequenced in the direction that the power flows:
- Engine – Converts combustion energy into rotational movement using pistons
- Transmission – The gears for controlling the torque and speed of the driveshaft
- Driveshaft
- Differentials – Converts the rotation of the driveshaft into rotation of the perpendicular axels
- Axels
- [Wheels]
