Which wheels are responsible for receiving engine power to propel the vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The wheels that receive power from the engine are called driven wheels. The correct answer depends on the mechanical configuration of the vehicle: Front-wheel drive: When engine power is transmitted to the front wheels. Rear-wheel drive: When power is transmitted to the rear wheels. All-wheel drive (4x4): When power is transmitted to all wheels. Therefore, stating that they are 'always' the front or rear wheels is incorrect, as it varies by manufacturer and vehicle type.
