Basic Motor Vehicle Systems

A motor vehicle consists of essentially nine (9) basic systems working interchangeably to ensure a smooth and efficient operation of the motor vehicle.

Just like we have various systems in the human body such as the digestive system, respiratory system etcetera, we have various distinct units in a motor vehicle that all work as a coherent whole.
The basic systems are:


  1. Power Unit
  2. Transmission system
  3. Suspension system
  4. Steering system
  5. Electrical system
  6. Braking system
  7. Fuel system
  8. Cooling system
  9. Lubrication system

Some Auto Scholars consider the Air-conditioning system as a major system too; but it is obvious that a motor vehicle can still perform its primary functions without the Air-conditioning system. Hence, it is tagged as an auxiliary system.
Though this various systems have different constructions and principles of operation, one may not work effectively without the other.

We shall consider these separate systems in our subsequent articles.

  2. It is true that some Scholars consider the air conditioning system as minor; to me, it is not worth it since it meets the requirements of a "system".

    1. Hi Israel, two key concepts must not be ignored in the specification of auto systems - functional value and luxury; the later is what air conditioning system offer. That is why it is classified as an auxiliary system. Thank you for always visiting.
