Flat drive belts are characterized by their flat, wide surface, which allows for a larger contact area with the pulley. Unlike round belts, which are commonly used in less demanding applications, flat belts can handle higher tension and are less prone to slippage. This unique structure makes them highly efficient in transferring power with minimal energy loss. Typically made from flexible materials such as rubber, polyester, or leather, flat belts can also be reinforced with cords or fabric to increase their strength and durability.

The timing belt is a crucial component of an internal combustion engine. It ensures that the engine's cams and crankshaft rotate in sync. This synchronization is necessary to maintain proper timing in the engine's valve operation, which is critical for optimal performance, efficiency, and emissions control. In Daewoo vehicles, similar to other vehicles, the timing belt is made of reinforced rubber and features teeth that mesh with gears on both the camshaft and crankshaft.
