Any
vehicle or engine required to generate power to get its motion. The moving
surface may anywhere whether in the land, water or air everywhere it needs some
power to gain the kinetic energy for movement. The main function of Powertrain
is to generate energy for movement of the engine so called as the life of an
engine.
A
Powertrain is a chassis of any vehicle bearing the engine, transmission,
suspension, drive shaft and the wheels as the Powertrain Components. Recently, some different model powertrain is
being used in the newly formed electric engine. In this case, the components
are a battery, electric motor, and some other artificial intelligence software.
The
drivetrain is a combination of powertrain components excluding the engine. This component decides the category of the
mover whether it is a two wheeler or four wheeler and more. The four-wheeled
vehicles are categorized as front- wheeler or rear wheeler according to the
powertrain prime mover system.
The
prime job of the powertrain is to convert the stored energy into the kinetic
energy. The specialty of this type of engine components is the ability to
generate kinetic energy from the fuel, chemical, a solar, electric, nuclear,
potential & another form of energy. The use of powertrain components is not just limited to the wheeled engine but
also in the non-wheeled and multipurpose power engine too.
The
high-tech powertrain technology is now very efficient in fuel consumption;
increase the fuel efficiency using different modern components. The use of new
components into the powertrain is a continuous process which increases the
performance of the engine and vehicle.
The
most effective thermal management components of powertrain are the cooling
system which prevents the engine to get heat. Now due to the technological
changes most of the components are made with plastic materials instead of metal
which gives a lightweight to the engine and vehicles.
