A gearbox and clutch, or alternative start-up devices, are essential for obtaining a driving torque suitable to traction from a reciprocating internal combustion engine.
In fact, this category of engines is characterized by a useful torque almost constant with rotational speed and sometimes increasing with it; in an ideal case, on the contrary, the driving torque should decrease with vehicle speed.
