If they mean by "transmission" as the method of providing slip between the power source and the ground when the vehicle is not moving, then:
* Steam Locomotive
None
* Electric Car (this is not fully defined for you - how?)
None
* Electric Locomotive or Streetcar
None
* Jet airplane
Speed of rotation of the engines.
* Hybrid-electric car or truck or bus
In electric mode, none. In gasoline engine mode, the slip of the induction motor.
* Diesel locomotive (also not fully defined - or is it?)
The Diesel - electric drive (EMD and GE stuff, etc.)
* Prop plane
Speed of rotation of the engine(s).
