The transmission's mission: It is a set of organs formed by different mechanisms: the clutch, gearbox, differential, reducer group, etc. Its mission is to transmit the engine's rotation to the wheels, adapting it to the needs of the vehicle's driving conditions.
Objectives:
- Couple and uncouple the engine's rotation.
- Reduce or increase the engine's torque output.
- Transmit the output torque from the gearbox to the wheels through the transmission shafts, differentials, conical groups, and semi-shafts.
Resistances:
- Rolling resistance: (Caused by the vehicle's weight on the wheels, the type of terrain, the dimensions of the vehicle, and the tire's displacement).
- Air resistance: (Largely dependent on the vehicle's size, the speed of the vehicle, and the
