A serpentine belt is a long, continuous belt used to drive multiple peripheral devices in an engine, including the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and air conditioning compressor. Unlike traditional belts, which are often separate and serve single functions, serpentine belts offer a more efficient and streamlined system. They are designed to minimize space and reduce the number of components required in the engine bay, making them a popular choice in contemporary automotive design.

A V-belt, named for its trapezoidal or 'V' cross-section, is a type of belt used to connect the engine's crankshaft to other components such as the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. The design of the V-belt allows it to fit snugly into pulley grooves, providing efficient power transmission without slipping. This makes it a critical component for the vehicle's performance as it handles the rotational energy produced by the engine.
