The term, longitudinal means "front-to-back" or "top-to-bottom" as opposed to transverse which means "side-to-side".
In automotive engineering, the term, 'longitudinal' refers to an engine in which the crankshaft is oriented along the long axis of the vehicle, front to back. Most rear wheel drive vehicles use this engine orientation, while most front wheel drive vehicles use a side-to-side transverse arrangement.
