ABSTRACT
So, for example, the torque created by an electric motor may be converted into mechanical work by coupling the motor output to a gearbox, chain or belt drive. Motor vehicle transmission systems convert the torque from the engine into the torque at the wheels via a clutch, gearbox and drive shafts. The clutch is used to engage and disengage the drive from the engine and the gearbox assembly transmits the power to the wheel drive shafts, as dictated by the driving conditions.
