Definition And Overview
Multi-wheel drive system consists of 2×2, 4×4, 6×6, or 8×8 drive-train systems which include a differential between the fronts and rear drive shafts. The automobiles with 4 x 4 drive system supplies power from the engine to both front and rear axles. However, 4 x 4 drive systems fail to manage the power on individual wheels and cause issues during high-speed turns. Vehicles may be either part-time all-wheel drive or full-time. The all-wheel drive (AWD) system introduced the concept of differential power, which enables the vehicle to control the torque received at each wheel. Therefore, AWD systems achieve higher efficiency, performance, and safety compared to other drive systems, resulting in the growth of the automotive multi-wheel drive equipment market in near future.
