Objective

• To introduce the powertrain system in general
• To understand how the system works

3
Powertrains

• A group of components used to transmit engine
  power to the driving wheels.
• varies the amount of torque.
• It includes

• Transmission
• Drive Shaft
• Clutch
• Differential

4
How it works

• Transmission changes the ratio between engine RPM
  and driving wheel RPM
• Drive Shaft connects the transmission output
  shaft to the differential pinion shaft
• Clutch links/breaks the link between the engine
  and the wheels

5

• Differential allows the drive axles to rotate at
  different speeds

6
Conclusion

• Powertrain system transmits the engine power to
  the wheels
• It mainly consists of

• Transmission
• Drive Shaft
• Clutch
• Differential
