What Does Dual Drive in Cars Mean?

[IkerLee]

Dual drive in cars refers to either the front two wheels or the rear two wheels being driven, while the remaining two wheels follow the main driven wheels on the road, which is relatively more fuel-efficient. The characteristics of dual-drive vehicles and other drive types are as follows: Characteristics of Dual-Drive Vehicles: Front-wheel-drive vehicles do not require a driveshaft for the rear wheels, so there is no central hump, resulting in lower handling limits but good stability. Rear-wheel-drive vehicles have a central hump and are more prone to losing control in rain or snow, but they offer higher handling limits. Dual-drive vehicles are more suitable for urban driving and may struggle in off-road conditions. Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) Systems: Four-wheel drive means each tire has power, but it can be categorized into full-time 4WD, part-time 4WD, and on-demand 4WD. Overall, 4WD improves vehicle stability on slippery surfaces. If equipped with locking mechanisms (such as differential locks, limited-slip differentials, or electronic traction control systems), it can significantly enhance off-road performance.
