in the rear engine layout, the engine sits at the rear of a vehicle. most of the vehicles use front engine layout because of the effective cooling it offers to run it efficiently. however, due to some design constraints, sometimes engineers use the rear engine layout. this design, i.e. the rear engine layout, places the engine at the rear of the vehicle but behind the rear axle line while the driven wheels are also at the rear of the vehicle.
the rear engine layout is not the most commonly used forms of engine layout. engineers use it in compact or micro-cars. it places the engine in a location which is accessible from the rear. thus, being at the rear, it does not provide protection to the driver in case of an accident. however, the advantage of rear engine layout is a simple design. placement of the heavy engine closer to the rear wheels makes the drive-train smaller and lighter. it is also simpler and more efficient as it eliminates the need for the propeller shaft while the differential merges with the transmission to save space.
