Forces acting on a vehicle
- Driving resistance
- Balance of traction forces
- Motion equation
- The balance of forces and the load limit of the vehicle
Transmissions
- Manual transmission
- Automatic transmission
- Hydraulic transmission
- CVT transmission (transmissions with continuously variable gear ratio)
Tire and differential
- Design and tire labeling
- Traction vs. slip diagram and micro contact
- Power distribution and differential gears
- Types of differential gears
