The driveline (or drive line) refers to the system of components in a vehicle that transfer power from the engine to the wheels, enabling movement. It typically includes:
Transmission – Converts engine power into usable torque and speed for the wheels.
Driveshaft – Transfers rotational power from the transmission to the differential.
Differential – Distributes power to the wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds.
Axles – Connect the differential to the wheels, transmitting power for movement.
The driveline is often confused with the powertrain, but the powertrain includes the engine, while the driveline only covers the components after the engine.
