Drive wheel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A drive wheel is a wheel in an automotive vehicle that receives power from the powertrain, and provides the final driving force for a vehicle. A two-wheel drive vehicle has two driven wheels, and a four-wheel drive has four.
A steer wheel is one that turns to change the direction of a vehicle. A trailer wheel is one that is neither a drive wheel nor a steer wheel.
