2. SH-AWD - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SH-AWD

   On start-up, the VTM-4 system would send torque (power) from the front wheels to the rear wheels to supplement the normal front-wheel drive mode. With all four wheels being powered on start-up, regardless of conditions, more tire adhesion is provided from four driving wheels rather than two front driving wheels.

3. All-wheel drive vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-wheel_drive_vehicle

   Particularly in North America for several decades, the designation AWD has been used and marketed – distinctly from 4×4 and 4WD – to apply to vehicles with drive train systems that have permanent drive, a differential between the front and rear drive shafts, and active management of torque transfer, especially following the advent of the anti-lock braking system (ABS).

4. Quattro (four-wheel-drive system) - Wikipedia

   The original quattro centre differential (1980). Volkswagen Group has been developing four-wheel drive (4WD) systems almost since its inception during the Second World War.The Volkswagen Kübelwagen, Volkswagen Schwimmwagen, and Volkswagen Kommandeurswagen were all military vehicles which required all four road wheels to be "driven", the latter being a 4WD Volkswagen Beetle.

5. Haldex Traction - Wikipedia

   Haldex Traction is a manufacturer of intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD) systems, founded in Sweden.Since the invention of Gen I in 1998, the company produced several generations of products licensed to and customized for some major automotive brands, that in turn have marketed Haldex Traction AWD under different names.

6. Four-wheel drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-wheel_drive

   A four-wheel drive, also called 4×4 ("four by four") or 4WD, is a two-axled vehicle drivetrain capable of providing torque to all of its wheels simultaneously. It may be full-time or on-demand, and is typically linked via a transfer case providing an additional output drive shaft and, in many instances, additional gear ranges .

7. Symmetrical All Wheel Drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetrical_All_Wheel_Drive

   The rear biased torque distribution reduces understeer, which occurs in AWD vehicles. VTD AWD uses a multi-plate clutch in conjunction with planetary gears in the center differential and a viscous coupling rear differential to distribute torque up to a 50:50 ratio. With the addition of VDC, all torque can be sent to a single wheel. [1] [4] [5]
