What does it do?
It investigates whether the vehicle should have rear-wheel drive (RWD) instead of front-wheel drive (FWD). This involves designing or adapting the rear axles, transmissions, and related components so that the vehicle operates correctly.
Main responsibilities:
Assess the feasibility of switching to rear-wheel drive: Is it possible with the current design, or is a complete redesign needed?
Design the rear axles and check that the transmission angles are suitable to avoid durability issues.
Coordinate with other teams (like chassis, suspension, and battery) to ensure that the change doesn't affect other systems.
Recommend whether the current design can be adapted or if a new one needs to be created.
Key deliverables:
3D models of the rear axles and drive components.
Reports comparing options (e.g., "Rear-wheel drive vs. front-wheel drive: pros and cons").
Documentation of risks and assumptions (e.g., "If we use this axle, there could be limitations").
