Powertrains are core systems that define how a vehicle is powered and propelled. Engines, batteries, transmissions, wheels and other components all form powertrains. There are several types of powertrains in Derail Valley:
Wire-Electric
Wire-Electric powertrains feature an overhead electric powersource and electric transmission.
Battery-Electric
Battery-Electric powertrains feature an onboard battery electric powersource and electric transmission.
Diesel-Electric
Diesel-Electric powertrains feature an onboard internal combustion engine powersource and electric transmission.
Diesel-Hydraulic
Diesel-Hydraulic powertrains Feature an onboard internal combustion engine powersource and hydraulic transmission.
Diesel-Mechanical
Diesel-Mechanical powertrains feature an internal combustion engine and mechanical transmission
Steam
Steam powertrains feature a steam-powered engine and transmission.
The type of powertrain a vehicle has notably affects its characteristics. Among those, there's the risk of powertrain overheating, and the different types of damage a powertrain can receive, such as mechanical and electrical powertrain damage.
Vehicles' powertrain type is what dictates a portion of their name.
