Mediating the Power Flow

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Automotive Transmissions

Abstract

Vehicle transmissions mediate between the engine and the drive wheels. The transmission adapts the power output to the power requirement by converting torque and rotational speed. The power requirement at the drive wheels is determined by the driving resistance [3.9].
