POWER TRANSMISSION ARRANGEMENT FOR VEHICLE

摘要

The invention concerns a vehicle having a conventional engine (10) which lies transversely to the direction of travel of the vehicle. Drive is transmitted from the engine (10) to a gearbox (17) and there is an output shaft (25) from the gearbox (17) for coupling drive to the vehicle wheels (30). Drive from the engine (10) is though a clutch (13) which transmits drive to the gearbox (17). The gearbox transmits drive to a longitudinally extending shaft (25) coupled to the drive shafts (38) for the driven wheel and the longitudinal axis of the gearbox (17) is arranged to lie at an acute angle (alpha) to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
