Introducing ValueGauge, the first information display to enable motor vehicle drivers to operate in ways that yield the most VALUE for their TIME and fuel dollar. ValueGauge consists of a microcomputer and electronic display in view of the vehicle operator,
Adjustment of the compression ratio in a running piston engine as a function of operating conditions is recognized as an effective way to improve both light load efficiency and maximum output torque,
Recent innovations in vehicle suspension employs active suspension system which imparts best in class ride and handling of vehicle. Active suspension is a type of automotive suspension that controls the vertical movement of the wheels relative to the chassis or vehicle body with an onboard system,
Aim:
To prevent accidents by reducing stopping distance.
Motive:
A recent study has concluded that the most of the accidents can be prevented by more effective braking i.e. reduced stopping distance*.
Principal:
Increases in contact surface of the tires, increase the road traction**,
In engines used before the late 1990s, the valve-lift of inlet and exhaust valve remain the same for all the speeds of the engine. This resulted into deviation in performance characteristics when the engine was not running at design point.
TOPIC: Improvements in On-Road-Vehicles takes inspiration from Aerofoil Sections and Ekranoplans.
As per Illustration 1- principles of Ekranoplan can be used to reduce fuel consumption of vehicles- like trucks- by reducing their effective weight, which would lead to reduction in friction, which in turn,
The Velocity EMC (Electric Motorcycle) can be the most energy efficient and safest personal transportation on the planet. Customers are attracted to the styling, sold on the handling and safety, and rewarded with extremely low cost of ownership. The streamlined,
INTRODUCTION
This paper deals with one of the key challenges in designing the next generation future hybrid vehicles with Efficient Waste Heat Recovery System.
Much of the fuel energy in an internal combustion engine is lost as heat, mainly through hot exhaust gas. The high energy losses,
