Abstract
All-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles are enjoying increasing popularity. The reason for the rising number of sales is, amongst other things, the variety of benefits which AWD vehicles offer relative to comparable front and rear-wheel drive vehicles. In addition to safety aspects, a higher degree of mobility and driving dynamics are particularly significant.
