Hub Drive Wheel

Machines equipped with hub drive wheels are designed for agile rotation, simple maneuverability, and a compact turning circle, making them well-suited for confined spaces. They can be customized with various motor types to meet specific requirements and are predominantly utilized in non-road vehicles. In the context of automotive design, front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicles channel the engine’s power to the front wheels via a transmission system. This setup assigns the front wheels with dual responsibilities: providing propulsion and handling steering. Power transmission is facilitated through a driveshaft, often referred to as a half-shaft, which connects the engine to the front wheels. FWD vehicles are engineered for competent performance under typical road conditions and are generally more cost-effective. They are an excellent choice for everyday use, particularly in urban and suburban settings.
