An automobile's overall structure consists of four major components: the engine, chassis, body, and electrical equipment. The engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, originating in the UK. It can refer to either the power generation device or the entire machine including the power unit. The chassis refers to the combination of the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system in a vehicle, which supports and mounts the engine and its various components and assemblies. The body refers to the part of the vehicle used for carrying passengers or cargo, and can also refer to the entire vehicle. The electrical equipment consists of two parts: the power source and the electrical appliances. The power source includes the battery and generator, while the electrical appliances include the engine starting system, ignition system of gasoline engines, and other electrical systems.
