The propulsion of the rear axle in the specified vehicle is achieved through an electric motor, which supplements the primary power source. This motor, part of the hybrid drivetrain, engages to provide torque to the rear wheels, enabling all-wheel drive functionality. It’s a system designed for enhanced traction and stability in various driving conditions.
The integration of an electric motor for rear-wheel drive offers several advantages, including improved fuel efficiency compared to traditional mechanical all-wheel-drive systems. It also allows for instantaneous torque delivery, enhancing acceleration and responsiveness. Historically, all-wheel drive systems relied solely on mechanical linkages, leading to increased weight and complexity. The electric motor approach represents a more efficient and sophisticated solution.
