What type of vehicle is one in which the engine transmits power to the rear wheels?
Mechanics (different vehicle systems)
A propulsion vehicle is one in which the engine transfers power to the rear wheels, allowing them to propel the vehicle forward.
Explanation
A **rear-wheel drive vehicle** is one in which the **engine transmits power to the rear wheels**. This means that the engine's thrust is directed specifically to the rear wheels, allowing the vehicle to move forward.
In contrast, a **front-wheel drive vehicle** receives the engine's thrust in the front wheels, while an **all-wheel drive vehicle** distributes the engine's power to all the wheels. Therefore, the distinctive feature of a rear-wheel drive vehicle is that only the rear wheels receive the engine's force.
