Classification based on the Power Mover


Vehicles can be classified based on the type of driving force as follows:


Gasoline engine vehicles
Gasoline engine vehicles
This type of vehicles using gasoline fuel. Because gasoline engines produce high power and comes in the form of a small passenger vehicle, the vehicle is being used as passenger vehicles.


Similar machines are also used in CNG engines, LPG ​​engines and machinery alcohol, which uses a different type of fuel.


CNG: Compressed Natural Gas
LPG: Liquefied Petroleum Gas


Vehicle diesel engines
Vehicle diesel engines 
This type of vehicles using diesel-fueled engines. Because diesel engines produce a great moment and offer fuel economy, then the machine is widely used on trucks and SUV vehicles. 


SUV: Sports Utility Vehicle 


Hybrid vehicles
Hybrid Vehicles 
Vehicles equipped with this type of driving force that has a different type, such as gasoline engines and electric motors. Because the gasoline engine generates electricity, this type of vehicle does not require an outside source to recharge the battery. Wheel-drive system using voltage 270V, and 12V electrical current. 
For example: for a start, the vehicle uses an electric motor that produces high despite the low speed. When the vehicle speed rises, it will operate a more efficient gasoline engine at its higher speeds. By using the best possible way to these two types of propulsion, then the exhaust gas can be reduced and fuel can be more economical. 


The diagram shows the Toyota hybrid system (petrol and electric motors). 


Electric vehicles
Electric vehicles (TOS)
These vehicles use battery power to operate the electric motor. Unlike fuel, batteries need recharging. The vehicle offers many benefits, including no exhaust and low noise during operation. Wheel-drive system using a voltage of 290V, while the 12V electrical current.


Fuel cell hybrid vehicles (fuel cell hybrid vehicle)
Fuel cell hybrid vehicle (FCHV)
This electric vehicle using electrical energy created when hydrogen fuel reacts with oxygen in air to form water. Because only water out, then the vehicle is considered a vehicle with the lowest pollution levels, and is expected to be a driving force for future generations.


Classification based Activator Methods


  Vehicles can be classified based on the position of the engine and drive wheels, and the number of drive wheels.

1.  FF (front-engine, front-Mover)
  Since FF does not have a vehicle propeller shaft, in a broader space available, so it becomes convenient


2.  FR (front-engine, rear-Mover)
  Because the FR vehicle has a good weight balance, then the vehicle type has good control and stability.


3.  MR (midship-engine, rear-Mover)
  Because the MR vehicle has a good balance of weight on the axle-axle front and rear, this vehicle has a power good control


4.  4WD (4-Wheel Drive)
  Because 4WD vehicle with four-wheel driven, the vehicle can be operated in adverse conditions with a stable manner. Greater severity than other types of vehicles.
