1 Answers
Relevant information about car drive wheels is as follows: 1. Ordinary cars generally have only two rear wheels as drive wheels, with two front wheels as driven wheels, or two front wheels as drive wheels and two rear wheels as driven wheels. 2. All wheels of off-road vehicles and full-time four-wheel-drive vehicles are drive wheels. 3. To distinguish between ordinary cars and off-road vehicles, it is common to use the total number of wheels multiplied by the number of drive wheels for representation. Most vehicles we commonly see adopt a four-wheel configuration, arranged in two rows on the front and rear axles, among which the wheels used to propel the vehicle forward are the drive wheels. Generally speaking, the drive form of a car mainly refers to the number and position of the drive wheels. Based on this basic standard, the method of using front wheels to drive the vehicle is called front-wheel drive, while using rear wheels to drive the vehicle is called rear-wheel drive, both of which belong to the two-wheel drive form. If all wheels participate in driving, it is called four-wheel drive, but according to different working methods, it can be further divided into three types: full-time four-wheel drive, part-time four-wheel drive, and on-demand four-wheel drive.
