Power train is an assembly of every component that pushes your vehicle forward.

Your

car's powertrain creates power from the engine and delivers it to the wheels on the

ground.

Transmission or a gearbox, acts as the medium that transmits power generated by the

engine to the wheels via a mechanical system of gears and gear trains.

Cooling works by constantly passing coolant through channels in the engine block

Lubrication a means whereby a material is placed between two rubbing surfaces to

alleviate friction and therefore wear

Fan facilitates and support the engine's temperature management.

Radiator the key component of the engine's cooling system

Oil pump a pump that sends lubricating oil under pressure to the bearings and other

lubricated surfaces of an engine.

Oil filter a filter designed to remove contaminants from engine oil, transmission oil,

lubricating oil, or hydraulic oil.

Suspension system

Braking system

Electrical system

Internal Combustion Engines – an engine that generates motive power by the burning

of gasoline, oil, or other fuel with air inside the engine, the hot gases produced being

used to drive a piston or do other work as they expand.

Calorific value – the amount of heat energy present in food or fuel and which is

determined by the complete combustion of specified quantity at constant pressure and

in normal conditions.
Electronic fuel ejection (EFI) – replaces the need for a carburetor that mixes air and

fuel.

Manifolds – an intake manifold that distributes the fuel-air mixture to the cylinders and

an exhaust manifold that delivers exhaust out the rear of the car

Fuel filler tube – an essential connection for receiving the fuel into the tank which is

highly flammable

Nozzle support section – a fine sprayer through which fuel is injected into an engine

Silicon hose – tough elastomer with high strength, flexibility, and resistance

Catalytic converter – a device incorporated in the exhaust system of a motor vehicle,

containing a catalyst for converting pollutant gases into less harmful ones.

Diesel car – A diesel is a type of engine that produces enough heat to burn fuel and

power a vehicle. Most diesels run on very thick, heavy oil.

Gasoline car – typically uses a spark-ignited internal combustion engine,

Fuel pump – a pump in a motor vehicle that propels liquid fuel from the tank to the

carburetor.

Fuel tank – a safe storage solution for flammable and hazardous liquids like diesel,

gasoline, petrol, and more.

Fuel lines – a pipe that carries gasoline from a tank to a gasoline engine

Spark plug – a part that fits into the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine and

carries two electrodes separated by an air gap across which the current from the

ignition system discharges to form the spark for combustion

Carburetor – device for supplying a spark-ignition engine with a mixture of fuel and air.
