What are the wheels called that receive power from engine?

The wheels that receive power from the engine are called driving wheels or powered wheels.

Here's why:

* Driving wheels: They "drive" the vehicle forward or backward by converting the engine's power into motion.

* Powered wheels: They are the wheels that are directly connected to the engine's power source (usually the transmission).

In most cars, the rear wheels are the driving wheels, making them rear-wheel drive (RWD). Some cars have front wheels as the driving wheels, making them front-wheel drive (FWD). There are also all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles that use both the front and rear wheels to drive the vehicle.
