Explanation:
Co skrywa nowa jednostka napędowa Renault?

Wielkimi krokami zbliża się do nas nowa era w Formule 1. Po wielu latach używania jednostek V8 przyszedł czas na nowości. W tym roku wszystkie zespoły mierzą się z przejściem na silniki o pojemności 1,6 litra wyposażone w turbodoładowanie, jak i innowacyjny system odzyskiwania energii (ERS). Całość ma generować nawet 760 koni mechanicznych, ale najciekawszym faktem jest ilość mocy pochodzącej z odzyskanej energii – aż 160 KM! Jeden z producentów tegorocznych jednostek napędowych – Renault postanowiło w znacznym stopniu przybliżyć nam szczegóły dotyczące ich maszyny. - http://www.f1wm.pl/artykuly/art_id-497.html

We are pushing, we are on time, we are on schedule but it's never enough. In Formula One, you cannot be satisfied, you can never be satisfied. In terms of aero, I think it will in some ways modify the car. I think that my friends beside me are more expert than me, but the power unit is quite different to what we had so in terms of layout and architecture - http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2012/8/13719.html

In a motor vehicle, the term powertrain or powerplant describes the main components that generate power and deliver it to the road surface, water, or air. This includes the engine, transmission, drive shafts, differentials, and the final drive (drive wheels, continuous track as in military tanks or caterpillar tractors, propeller, etc.). Sometimes "powertrain" is used to refer to simply the engine and transmission, including the other components only if they are integral to the transmission.

agree  petrolhead: Oczywiscie tak, co sam zaproponowałem w komentarzu. "Powertrain" jest teraz bardzo modne jako synonim "engine" (taki uzus).

  -> Yes, it makes it sound VERY technically correct. Thank you, petrolhead.
neutral  Krystian Kop (X): Frank, wydaje mi się, że tu chodzi o sam silnik a nie o cały układ przeniesienia napędu
2 hrs
  -> I never argue with petrolhead when it comes to things automotive. We have limited context, and jednostka napędowa is a rather stiff term, admitting many interpretations.
