FrontantriebsTransaxles
FrontantriebsTransaxles are integrated power units used in front-wheel-drive vehicles that combine the transmission and the final drive (differential) into a single assembly located at the front of the drivetrain. In most applications, the engine is mounted transversely, and the transaxle sits directly ahead of the front wheels, providing rotational power through short output shafts to the wheel hubs.
Inside a FrontantriebsTransaxle is the gear set, differential, and clutch or hydraulic torque converter, with the
Advantages include compact packaging, reduced drivetrain length, lower weight, and potential cost savings from fewer components
Applications span most compact and midsize passenger cars designed for front-wheel drive, where the transaxle is
