Car fans who love driving have always preferred rear-wheel drive vehicles. However, automated vehicles before the birth of internal combustion engine vehicles, such as steam vehicles, were mostly driven by the front wheels (front-wheel drive vehicles). The driving habits and physical phenomena involved behind this, But most of the later cars were rear-wheel drive (rear-wheel drive). For example, Mercedes-Benz's first internal combustion engine three-wheeler was rear-wheel drive. After World War II, front-wheel driven vehicles suddenly became popular. The reason was that the breakthroughs in the design of transmission machinery before the war were implemented after the war and improved by manufacturers. A set of vehicles that could be better used in The front wheel drives the vehicle's transmission universal joint (CV Joint). Since then, front-engine front-wheel drive (or FF) vehicles have emerged. In addition to the advancement of the production technology of the universal joint, the other reason is that the front wheel drive Driving the car creates a special design of the car, which has many benefits for mass users. So, why haven’t front-wheel drive cars completely replaced rear-wheel drive cars? There are some characteristics of rear-wheel drive vehicles that cannot be replaced by front-wheel drive vehicles, especially when dealing with high-horsepower engines, or to satisfy drivers who have higher requirements for controlling the car. What are the characteristics of rear-wheel drive vehicles? Of course, there are also today's popular electric vehicles, front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive. What are the design elements that are very important to electric vehicles? In this episode, Sir Long will tell you in detail.
