Because sometimes people pester askers for additional context quite unnecessarily, when adequate context has already been given (especially, in this case, if you take all of Asker's questions together).
I "found" both the term FWD and the use of 'front wheel drive' for 'traction' from my personal technical experience in this area — and indeed, most people in English-speaking countries would have this as 'general knowledge' anyway.

Thanks everybody for your help.

Why do you oppose to more context? The more context, the better. I would not be so confident having guessed the right term. Where did you found the term FWD? I wouldn't be able to propose anything, given the lack of context, but normally, traction is translated by traction. Why not this tme, too?

There is absolutely NO need for more context — it is eminently clear from the context given, and when paired with 'propulsion', there can be no doubt whatsoever as to the meaning here.
