The goal of the powertrain is to move the car forward. In an internal combustion engine, this is accomplished by converting chemical energy stored in a combustible fuel source into mechanical energy. An internal combustion engine burns the fuel to create rotational energy. This is transmitted to the ground through the drivetrain.
