Need for Diversification in Powertrain TechnologyATZautotechnology - Tập 9 - Trang 38-38 - 2009
Roland Schedel
As the production of oil is steadily heading towards its peak and will start to fall when this point has been reached, one vital question arises: What will be the future fuel for cars? It is most probable that petroleum will not be replaced by a single fuel but by several candidates. Fuel is likely to diversify and, as a consequence, there will also be a diversification in engine and powertrain te...... hiện toàn bộ
The new Mini engine with twin power turboATZautotechnology - Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 38-45 - 2010
Lechner, Bernhard, Kiesgen, Gerrit, Kriese, Jens, Schopp, Johann
With BMW providing leadership, the BMW Group and PSA Peugeot Citroën have jointly developed a new family of small four-cylinder gasoline engines, which since 2006 is found in all variants of the Mini, Peugeot and Citroën cars. This engine family has been thoroughly revised. The focus here was another reduction of fuel consumption and emissions with simultaneous consideration of dynamic improvement...... hiện toàn bộ

The objective of the development for the Bentley Arnage successor, the Bentley Mulsanne, was to be the best vehicle in its class. The challenges for the engine were to strengthen the Bentley values of performance, drive ability, design and craftsmanship whilst optimising fuel consumption, emissions and quality.
Scenario-Based Simulation Environment for Assistance SystemsATZautotechnology - Tập 10 - Trang 28-32 - 2010
Martijn Tideman
Road vehicles are becoming increasingly “smarter” with advanced assistance systems. Sensors enable cars to see danger before it happens, so that the driver can anticipate the event and take action. But what is it that the sensors should be observing, how must the observations be translated into actions, and what traffic scenarios should be used to test the system? The scenario-based simulation env...... hiện toàn bộ

Since 1995, there has been an agreement by the ACEA promising to reduce the CO2 emissions of newly marketed cars by 25% by the year 2008 as compared to 1995. The target value of 140 grams of CO2 corresponds to a fuel consumption of 5.3 litres of diesel or 5.8 litres of petrol per 100 kilometres.

Lead-acid batteries seemed to be at the end of optimizations. They were used for starting the motor and in AGM design for start-stop systems. Now, Exide Technologies presents an advanced lead-acid battery fulfilling the power needs of hybrid powertrains up to fullhybrids. The authors show the potentials of lead acid and a special roadmap which comprises the integration of the new techniques into v...... hiện toàn bộ
Composites replacing steel applicationsATZautotechnology - Tập 2 - Trang 40-41 - 2002

Exhibitors at the annual JEC composite show in Paris showed structural and Class A body panels now in production and predicted that they would gain more share from metal because their material can be formed in shapes that metal cannot duplicate.
