Which wheels are the driving wheels?
Mechanics (different vehicle systems)
Explanation
The **driving wheels** are those that receive the engine's power to move the vehicle. Depending on the type of vehicle, these wheels can be either the front or the rear ones.
- In a **front-wheel drive** vehicle, the engine's power is transmitted to the **front wheels**. This means that the front wheels are the ones that move the vehicle forward.
- In a **rear-wheel drive** vehicle, the engine's power is transmitted to the **rear wheels**. In this case, it is the rear wheels that propel the vehicle.
Therefore, the driving wheels can be either the front or the rear ones, depending on the design of the vehicle's transmission system.
