Explanation:
The drivetrain of a motor vehicle is the group of components that deliver power to the driving wheels
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drivetrain

Unter dem Antriebsstrang eines Fahrzeuges werden in der Kraftfahrzeugtechnik alle Komponenten verstanden, die im Fahrzeug die Leistung für den Antrieb generieren und bis auf die Straße übertragen.
Beim konventionellen Antriebsstrang, bei dem ein Verbrennungsmotor (Otto- oder Dieselmotor) eingesetzt wird, zählen dazu der Motor mit dem Schwungrad (ggf. als Zweimassenschwungrad), die Kupplung mit dem Fahrzeuggetriebe, bei mehrspurigen Fahrzeugen das Differential, die Antriebswellen oder Steckachsen sowie die Räder. Bei einem mehrspurigen heck- oder allradgetriebenen Fahrzeug kommen noch zusätzliche Gelenkwellen oder Kardanwellen, die Viscokupplung, das eventuelle Untersetzungsgetriebe, das Kreuzgelenk oder die Gelenkscheibe, das Mittellager und ggf. Mittendifferential(e) hinzu.

Anm.: Es geht hier nicht nur um eine Kardanwelle.

Die Verteilung der Antriebssysteme auf die beiden Achsen hat eigentlich den Vorteil, dass kein dicker Antriebstunnel durch das Fahrzeug gelegt werden muss.

Das Nasspressverfahren ist das ideale Verfahren zur Großserienfertigung von Carbonfaserbauteilen mit geringer dreidimensionaler Komplexität. Dies sind etwa Strukturbauteile wie Fahrzeug-Antriebstunnel oder Verstärkungen im Dachbereich, die besonders hohen Belastungen ausgesetzt sind.

In the case of rear-wheel drive, also known as standard drive, engine power is transmitted to the rear wheels. This requires a drive train from the engine at the front to the axle at the rear. This means the drive train, tunnel and rear axle differential limit the space available in the interior and luggage compartment
https://www.seat.com/car-terms/d/drive-concepts.html

All four edges of the removable U-shaped drive-train tunnel were bound with vinyl that wrapped over the metal edges or extended over the flanges to be screwed to the floor. Both the removable and fixed drive shaft tunnerls were carpeted (though fhe fixed section may have been covered with Armacord on very lat BN1s).
:
Carpeting in position on the BN1. Also visible is the BN1 transmission tunnel cover, with vinyl covering the gearshift area, and the rubber gearshift boot.

Inboard front brakes (drum) contribute to handling by reducing unsprung weight, and absence of drive-train tunnel is a boon to driver and front passenger.

The item "Drive train" refers to all parts of the drive train: Drive shaft, Gearbox, Hydraulic clutch actuator, Clutch, Longitudinal shaft an Dual-mass flywheel)

The function of the drive shaft is to transfer the engine torque from the gearbox or differential to the wheels. It must also compensate for all variations in angle or length resulting from manoeuvring and deflection for perfect synchronisation between joints.
Drive shafts for cars with front wheel drive consist of the outboard fixed joint, the inboard constant velocity joint and the connecting shaft. They also include elements such as the anti-lock system ring and the torsion damper.
https://www.my-cardictionary.com/drive-train/drive-shaft.htm...
Gearbox
The gearbox is just as important a part of the vehicle power train as the engine. It transmits the engine torque to the wheels and also provides various transmission ratios to enable the speed of the engine to be adapted to different driving situations.
https://www.my-cardictionary.com/cardictionary/products/prod...
etc.

The drivetrain of a motor vehicle is the group of components that deliver power to the driving wheels.[1] This excludes the engine or motor that generates the power. In contrast, the powertrain is considered to include both the engine or motor and the drivetrain.
:
The precise components of the drivetrain vary, according to the type of vehicle.
Some typical examples:
Manual transmission car
• Flywheel
o Dual mass flywheel still rare
• Clutch
• Gearbox
o Overdrive Only rarely fitted
• Propeller shaft
• Rear axle
o Final drive
o Differential
Automatic transmission car
• Torque converter
• Transmission
• Propeller shaft
• Rear axle
o spool
o Differential
