What are the 5 types of automobile overall layouts?
1 Answers
The arrangement forms of automobiles generally include the following 5 types: 1. Front-engine front-wheel drive (FF): This is a popular layout in sedans, featuring compact structure, reduced vehicle weight, lowered floor height, and improved handling stability at high speeds. 2. Front-engine rear-wheel drive (FR): This is the traditional layout form. It is adopted by most trucks, some sedans, and some buses. 3. Rear-engine rear-wheel drive (RR): This is currently the prevalent layout for large and medium-sized buses, offering advantages such as reduced interior noise and better interior space utilization. A few sedans also adopt this layout. 4. Mid-engine rear-wheel drive (MR): This is the layout used by most sports cars and formula racing cars today. Since these vehicles use high-power and large-sized engines, placing the engine behind the driver's seat and in front of the rear axle helps achieve optimal axle load distribution and enhances vehicle performance. Additionally, some large and medium-sized buses also use this layout, installing horizontal engines under the floor. 5. All-wheel drive (AWD): This is a unique layout for off-road vehicles, typically with a front-mounted engine and a transfer case installed behind the transmission to distribute power to all wheels.
