Are vans front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive?

[DelDavid]

Vans are rear-wheel drive, and the engine is not located at the front. Typically, the engine of a van is positioned beneath the driver and passenger seats. Since vans are often used for cargo transportation, front-wheel drive would be impractical. The weight of the cargo is usually concentrated in the rear part of the vehicle, and using front-wheel drive would result in insufficient traction for the front wheels, leading to poor vehicle performance. Vans are characterized by the absence of protruding engine compartments or luggage compartments at the front or rear, resembling a loaf of bread, hence the name. The main models of vans are generally manufactured in China, including brands like Jiulong, Jinbei, Zhongshun, Changan, Songhuajiang, Changhe, and Wuling.
