An automotive transfer case is a crucial component found in both four-wheel-drive (4WD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicles. Its primary function is to transfer power from the transmission to both the front and rear axles, enabling seamless switching between two-wheel and four-wheel drive modes. This capability enhances traction and stability across different terrains.

The main types of automotive transfer cases can be categorized into drive type, housing type, and transfer case shift type. Drive type refers to the configuration of the drivetrain, encompassing front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD), all-wheel drive (AWD), and four-wheel drive (4WD) systems. Housing type denotes the material composition, typically involving aluminum, magnesium, or steel for durability and weight considerations. Transfer case shift type includes manual shift on the fly (MOSF) and electronic shift on the fly (ESOF) mechanisms, facilitating convenient mode switching. Automotive transfer cases are utilized in various vehicle segments, including passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, buses, trucks, and off-road vehicles. They are distributed through original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket channels, ensuring availability for both vehicle assembly and replacement parts.
