What Do Torque and Wheelbase Mean?

[DiLogan]

Torque is the rotational force output from the crankshaft of an engine. Under constant power conditions, it has an inverse relationship with engine speed - the higher the speed, the lower the torque, and vice versa. This reflects a vehicle's load-bearing capacity within a certain range. As the piston moves reciprocally in the cylinder, completing one cycle of work measured in Newton-meters, the work done per unit distance is torque. The wheelbase of a vehicle is the distance between the centers of the front and rear axles, measured as the length between two vertical lines passing through the midpoints of adjacent wheels on the same side and perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane. For vehicles with more than two axles, the wheelbase is represented by the distances between adjacent wheels from front to rear, with the total wheelbase being the sum of these individual distances. The wheelbase affects the interior space of a vehicle - a longer wheelbase means more space, while a shorter wheelbase results in less space.
