Drive layout for vehicle with transverse crank shaft - has engine with transverse crank shaft and has gear unit installed between and below engine and differential

摘要

Drive layout having an engine (7) with a transversely arranged crank shaft (6) to provide torque. A differential is positioned behind the engine for the differential drive of the drive shaft. A gear unit (32) is provided to increase the engine torque and transfer it to the differential. The gear unit is installed between and below the engine and the differential to accommodate the shafts (35, 30, 31) of the gear unit parallel to the crank shaft. ADVANTAGE - Enables the engine to be inclined towards the rear of the vehicle, thus reducing front end overhang.
