What are the types of transfer cases?
1 Answers
There are mainly three types of transfer cases: 1. On-demand 4WD: Vehicles equipped with an on-demand 4WD system can use a computer to select the appropriate driving mode for current conditions; 2. Full-time 4WD: This drivetrain does not require driver intervention, as the front and rear wheels always maintain a four-wheel drive mode. During driving, the engine's output torque is distributed in a 50:50 ratio between the front and rear wheels, ensuring equal torque to all wheels; 3. Part-time 4WD: This is a four-wheel drive system where the driver can manually switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The driver can engage or disengage the transfer case based on road conditions to change between two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive modes, which is a common driving mode for off-road vehicles or 4WD SUVs.
