Front-wheel drive

The historic 1934 Citroën Traction Avant. Its model name literally means front-wheel-drive, one of the car's break-through innovations.

Front-wheel drive (FWD) is a form of engine and transmission layout used in motor vehicles, in which the engine drives the front wheels only. Most modern front-wheel-drive vehicles feature a transverse engine, rather than the conventional longitudinal engine arrangement generally found in rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles.
