New Delhi. You too must be driving a car and you must have experienced this many times that as soon as you press the accelerator of some cars, the car starts speeding up. The wheels of these cars neither get stuck in mud-pits nor do they become slippery during the rainy season. After all, what is the technology that makes these vehicles so safe? So, let us tell you that this amazing all wheel drive technology is there. We tell you the complete ABCD of how this technology works and what are its benefits.
Actually, in All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles, the power from the engine goes equally to all the wheels of the vehicle. Generally you know that the engine of the car is in the front and the front wheel does the work of pulling the entire car. This is because in normal cars only the front two wheels get power from the engine. In vehicles with AWD technology, equal power is sent from the engine to all four wheels.

How technology works
AWD technology is used in all SUVs and crossover vehicles. In these cars, power from the engine is distributed among all four wheels. Automatic technology ensures power is delivered to which wheels when they need it. This technology itself decides whether the rear wheel needs more power or the front wheel. In some cases when power is needed to all four wheels, this technology sends power to both the front and rear wheels.
What is its benefit?
AWD technology is more beneficial in offroad traveling and driving on mountains. AWD technology is also useful to prevent the wheels of the vehicle from slipping during the rainy season. Similarly, AWD technology is useful in driving the car even in snowy places, which prevents the wheels from slipping. Apart from this, if you are driving offroad, where there is a lot of mud, then this technology also prevents the wheels of your car from getting stuck in potholes etc. during the rainy season and the wheels come out easily.
Along with advantages there are also some disadvantages
AWD technology also has some disadvantages. Its first disadvantage is the reduced mileage of the vehicle. Since this heavy system requires extra power to operate and turn the car, it also consumes more fuel. Apart from this, the biggest loss is due to stopping the vehicle. Actually, this technology gives extra power to the vehicle to move forward, but there is no additional braking system to stop it. Therefore, the driver has to drive such vehicles very carefully.
