Informative and pedagogic writing.
The interpretation of startup strategy sound however wrong to me. Big Turbo have low emission because of the forced to good stoichiometry, so you certainly don´t want to run rich just to heat the catalytic producing badly combusted exhausts gases.
If I was to be picky, I would nearly say that today, Chevy goes Saab* since all that was the exact strategy behind the engine architecture then (Big* *single turbo for power and low emissions at the detriment of stand-still acceleration).
A team of engineers from several institutions in South Korea has developed a type of wheel with spokes that can be adjusted in real time to conform the wheel's shape to uneven terrain. In their paper published in the journal Science Robotics, the group describes the principles behind their wheel...
A new analysis led by a group of college researchers finds the U.S. will fall short of its recently finalized target for reducing vehicle emissions by nearly 15 percent over the next decade because of unrealistic goals for increasing electric-vehicle production. But adding more hybrids to the...
The research groups led by Prof. Kei Sakaguchi from the School of Engineering at Tokyo Institute of Technology and Prof. Walid Saad from Virginia Tech have jointly realized a Smart Mobility Digital Twin that replicates physical space's traffic conditions in cyber space in real-time.
The 'Festival of the Unexceptional'. Only the English could come up with it and it's not at all like Burning Man. (By the way, the site overall is an exceptional compendium of the history of the British car industry and you'll weep over many of the designs that never saw production - and curse the car company executives as you do Sandys.)
Koenigsegg ditched its plan to equip the Gemera hyper saloon with the small but mighty Tiny Friendly Giant (TFG) three-cylinder engine, and we do feel sad. There’s something commendable about an overachiever, and given its 600bhp and 443lb ft output, the TFG is one hell of an apple-polisher.
The article's a joke but technically it is possible provided it has a continuous supply of electricity. An internal fan creates more downforce than the car weighs - while at a standstill.
Many 1940s and 1950s Kaiser-Frazer concept cars were never built due to infighting. These concept cars may have given a false sense of hope about the future of the Kaiser-Frazer company. Check out 1940s and 1950s Kaiser-Frazer concept cars and see pictures.
The 1950s Willys concept cars ranged from sharp to dowdy, but their future was in South America. Like other failed automakers, Willys left behind many plans for future models. See pictures and a profile of 1950s Willys concept cars.
