ELECTRIC CARS
An electric car is powered by an electric motor instead of a gasoline engine.The electric motorgets energyfrom a controller, which regulatesthe amount of power – based on the driver’s use of an accelerator pedal. The electric car (EV) uses energy stored in its rechargeable batteries, which are recharged.
Unlikeahybridcar–whichisfueledbygasolineanduses a batteryand motor to improve efficiency – an electric car is powered only by electricity. EVs have not been widely adopted because of limited driving range before needing to be recharged, long recharging times. As battery technology improves – simultaneously increasing energy storage and reducing cost – major automakers are expected to begin introducing a new generation of electric cars.
Electric cars produce no tailpipe emissions, reduce our dependency on oil, and are cheaper to operate.

FIAT’S MULTIAIRVALVE-LIFT SYSTEM
Surginggas prices are causingautomakers to look forways to increase the efficiency of gasoline engines. One of the main inefficiencies of these engines is the restriction that’s created by the throttle plate in the intake passage, which is used to regulate how much air feeds the cylinders. This bottleneck caused by a partly open throttle forces an engine to squander about 10 percent of energy that could otherwise be used for propulsion.
BMW,Nissan/Infiniti,andFiathaveovercomemuchofthesepumping losses by throttlingtheir engines via the intake valves – varying their lift and

theamountoftimethevalvesareopentocontroltheengine.BMWwasfirst, withitsValvetronictechnology.It’s acomplexsystemthatusesan additional electronically actuated camshaft to vary valve lift.
The advantage of Fiat’s “Multiair” system is its simplicity; it achieves what Valvetronic does by using hydraulic fluid running through narrow passages connecting the intake valves and the camshaft so the two can be decoupled.Thissystemismodulatedbyanelectronicallycontrolledsolenoid, and there are effectively two modes: When the solenoid is closed, the incompressiblehydraulic fluid transmits the intake-camlobe’s motiontothe valve, as in a traditional engine. When the solenoid is open, the oil bypasses thepassage,decouplingthevalve,whichthenclosesconventionallyviaspring pressure.Forexample,toshutthevalvesearly,asinapart-loadsituation,the solenoid would be closed initially and then open partly through the intake cycle.Thedifficultproblemiscorrectlytimingtheswitchingof thesolenoid, and Fiat has optimized the responsiveness of the electronic controls.
The intake-cam lobe acts on a finger follower which actuates a piston that pushes oil into the valve assembly, the latter having a piston, a lash adjuster and a hydraulic brake.
In addition to the fuel-economy and emissions benefits, Fiat claims Multiair can also enable a 10-percent horsepower boost. This technology will go into production in Europe later this year on a 1.4-liter turbo and will also be used on naturally aspirated engines as it spreads throughout Fiat’s lineup.

ZF’S 8-SPEEDAUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Theeight-speedtransmissionisnotnewtotheautomotiveworld.Toyota has had one in its Lexus LS and IS F sedans for a few years. But now, transmission giant ZF is bringing eight speeds to the masses with promises of improved fuel economy.
It’s known as the 8HPand this transmission offers different options for automakers. It is already in the BMW 760Li and 5-series GT.
Four planetary gear sets combine for eight gears in all. These gear sets are engaged and disengaged by five shifting elements. Toyota’s eight-speed gearbox also has four planetary gearsets, but it uses seven shifting elements to create eight ratios – the ZF is a simpler design.
8HP is not a single transmission but rather one transmission case with various internal options. It is designed for longitudinal applications. It can besetupforrear-orall-wheeldriveandfacilitateshybridizationbyproviding theoptionof swappingtheconventionaltorque converterfor a47-hp electric motor, increasing fuel economy by a claimed 25 percent when compared with ZF’s old six-speed (6HP).
A third coupling device is available for the most-performance-driven applications:awetmultiplateclutchpackdevelopedbyZF,whichiscurrently found in the Mercedes-Benz E63 and SL63.

ZFdesignedthe8HPtoreplacethe6HPand,indoingso,madethenew transmission identical not only in dimension but also in weight. This is an important consideration, as the six-speed is widely employed in the luxurysport ranks.
ZF says the 8HPis six percent more efficient than the sixer and nearly as efficient as a dual-clutch automated manual, which ZF also produces. Moreover,theeight-speedisroughly20percentcheaperandhasthesmooth, torque-converter starts.

THE ROLE OFCOOLINGWATERAND LUBRICATINGOIL TEMPERATURES ONTRANSIENT EMISSIONS DURINGSI ENGINEWARM-UP

Many city driving journeys are shorter than this and result in considerable excess fuel consumption and pollution. To achieve improved

cold start performance requires close attention to the utilisation of the heat rejectedbythecombustionprocesstotheengineheatsinks.Theheatrejected bythecombustion processisdominatedbythe exhaustheat.The majorityof heatrejectedintothecoolingwatercomesfromthecylinderheadandexhaust port area, and more efficient ways of cooling jacket design in this area can improve the warm up rate of the cooling water.
Heatingof thelubricatingoil is moreindirectthanthatofthewaterand has been shown to be the slowest part of the engine warm up process. This canstronglyinfluencetheenginefrictionlossesandhencethetransientSFC. However, the lubricating oil temperature also influences the hydrocarbon emissions through the lubricating oil absorption mechanism, which is a functionofthelubricatingoiltemperature.Evidenceforthiswillbepresented in the present work.
Theemissionsduringthewarm-upperiodareofconcernfromapollution viewpointandtheyalsorepresentasignificantcombustioninefficiencywhich contributes directly to the poor SFC during the warm-up. The unburned hydrocarbon (UHC), CO and NOx emissions have a strong dependence on time during the warm up period and are not at the fully warmed up value by the time the water was at 90°C.
The rate of heating of the coolant, lubricating oil, cylinder metal temperature and the associated exhausttemperatures and emissions are very difficult to predict. Few measurements of the transient warm-up of engines have been published and the objective of the present work was to provide more information on the processes that influence the warm-up and the associatedemissions. Marshalluseda techniqueofstartingan engineup toa set load and speed and determining the transient change in the coolant temperatures. Theyalso developed a model to correlate thetransient heating results for a given engine. Similar test techniques were used in the present work with special emphasis on the exhaust emissions, as they reflect the changes in the combustion process during the warm-up period.
A Ford Valencia engine was tested with a sudden start-up to a fixed speed and load and the coolant, lubricating oil and exhaust emissions were monitored as a function of time.Tests with waterand lubricating oil initially at ambient temperatures were compared with tests with the water externally heated and cold lubricating oil, and with cold water and hot lubricating oil. Theresultsshowedthat there wasstill asignificanttransientdevelopment of the emissions when the cooling water was hot before to the start up, but that
when the lubricatingoil was hotthere was little transient change in theUHC emissions. The three comparative results demonstrated that the warm-up process was dominated by the slow warm up of the lubricating oil which determined the time taken to achieve the minimum SFCand the reduction in theUHC emissions.The warmupofthewaterhadaninfluenceon theinitial development of the combustion efficiency and the NOx emissions.

TORQUEINGUPTHE GEARLESSTRANSMISSION
Most transmissions offer between three and six distinct gear ratios. Having more ratios to choose from permits the engine to operate at an ideal speed andload more of the time. Continuously variable transmissions CVTs operate without conventional gears, providing an infinite number of gear ratios within a preset range. This allows a car to accelerate while its engine speed stays at peak-horsepower rpm.
72 |
73 |
Most CVtransmissions built by now, including theHonda Civic HX’s, use a pulley system with a V-shaped, Van Doorne-type steel belt to transmit torque. The belt is clamped between two pulleys whose effective diameters can be altered by sliding the pulley halves together or apart. These belts consist of hundreds of flat steel plates that transmit torque by pushing, one element againstanother, from input to output pulley. Sofar, the uppertorque limit of this design has been about 150 pound-feet.
Three new CVT designs aim to move gearless shifting up to the executive-sedan class. The firstone is in theAudi Multitronic, to be fitted to the2002A6 2.8. It works much like current CVTs do but uses anew chain to transmitthetorque.Theothers–Nissan’sExtroidandMazda’sexperimental toroidal CVT – are quite different.
Audi’smajoradvancementisitsnewpullchain,designedincooperation withLUKofGermany.Inthisdesign,thepulleysclamphardagainstaseries of pins, each pairof whichislinkedtogether byeither13or14steellinks. In all, the 1.5-inch-wide chain consists of 75 pins and 1025 links. This pull chain operates at a much smaller minimum diameter than a push belt can, which permits a broader range of ratios – from 12.7:1 to 2.1:1 – in a given package.
That ultra-low ratio allows the car to start from rest without a torque converter. Ditching the converter boosts fuel economy. From a stop, one of twomultiplateclutchesengages–graduallyorquickly,dependingondriving style – for forward or reverse drive. The A6’s engine is rated at 207 poundfeet of torque.

4.Inanindependentfront-suspensionsystem,eachfrontwheelisconnected to the car body by its own linkage and springing, so that its movement does not affect that of the other wheel.
5.Sophisticated controlsystems actuallyallow even betterusage such that under certain conditions both the motor and the engine can be used.
6.Lambdacontrol is a closed loop feedback system in that the signal from a lambda sensor in the exhaust can directly affect the fuel quantity injected.
7.A greater volume of petrol is needed so as to ensure that sufficient fuel reaches the engine’s combustion chambers.

8.Horizontally opposed cylinders are used in only a few engine designs, frequently those with engines at the rear, where space is limited.
9.A car is said to understeer when the slip angles of the front tyres are greater than those of the rear tyres.
10.If the oil is too thin, the film that should separate the moving surfaces will break down, that would permit contact and wear.

2009 NISSAN 370Z’S SYNCHROREV MATCH
In most cars with a manual transmission, a smooth downshift requires a blip of the throttle to match the engine rpm with the speed of the lower
gear.And shifting duringbrakingrequires theone-foot, two-pedaltechnique known asheel-and-toeing: yourrightfootblipsthe throttle whileat the same timepushingthe brakepedal.ButNissan’s system, partofthe Sportpackage onmanual-transmission370ZsandstandardontheNISMOversion,provides the rev matching for you.
Thebasic system components are sensors on the clutch pedal and shift lever, along with some finely tuned programming in the engine control unit (ECU).There’s also atransmission-speedsensortomake sure the driveshaft matchesupwithenginespeed.Pressingintheclutchpedaltriggersthesystem, and when it detects movement in the shift lever, the engine control unit calculates the target engine speed and adjusts the electronic throttle accordingly.
Thegearshiftsensorsmonitorgearpositionaswellasside-to-sideshifter movement and are sensitive enough that you canhold down the clutch pedal and watch the revs jump precisely to the right rpm if you want to move the shift lever to a lower gear. But it’s not just for downshifts; SRM also sticks theenginespeedatthetargetedrpmduringupshiftstopreventanylumpiness that might result from letting the revs drop too low. And if you push in the clutch pedal but don’t change gears, the engine will adjust to the proper revs before the clutch is fully reengaged.
