There are four main powertrain configurations for vehicles: front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD), 4-wheel drive (4WD), and all-wheel drive (AWD). FWD vehicles have the engine mounted transversely and power the front wheels. RWD vehicles have an inline engine and power the rear wheels through a transmission and driveshaft. 4WD vehicles can power all four wheels either full-time or on demand. Vehicles can also have mid-mounted or rear-mounted engines.
