Two-speed final drives and computer-based controls are used to optimize drivetrain efficiency in real time. ENGINES & TRANSMISSIONS V0.1.2.32S 1.46
Transfers power to the wheels.
Allows for different drive wheel speeds. Development Goals & Trends Phase I of the study investigated the emission-criticality
Internal combustion engines generate power by burning a fuel-air mixture in an enclosed space, creating high pressure that pushes a piston down, which in turn rotates a crankshaft. Transfers power to the wheels
Consistent, high-quality lubrication is critical, often called the "blood" of the vehicle, to reduce friction, prevent overheating, and protect components from wear. Key Transmission Components
The transmission system transmits power from the engine to the drive wheels, featuring several core components: Connects the engine to the transmission. Gear Box: Manages torque and speed ratios.
