Although the engine alone provides sufficient driving performance, even in sustained uphill driving, a permanent - magnet electric motor mounted between the engine and transmission provides power assistance under certain conditions, such
as initial acceleration from a stop.
Not exact matches
Initial acceleration is brutal
as the electric motors and combustion engine dump their collective torque to each wheel.
The new Ds mode is most welcome,
as it tightens up the
initial throttle response and bumps up the revs for more robust
acceleration — and more noise.
Not to be confused
as just a «start - stop» system, the electric motor also assists somewhat during
initial launch, during torque smoothing and when under heavy
acceleration.
When engine speed is low and engine load is large, such
as during
initial acceleration, the amount of overlap is increased to boost the scavenging effect, which improves torque and responsiveness.
Off the line, the 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid feels fast enough for a vehicle of its size, although it's doubtful that
initial acceleration is directly comparable to that of the V - 6 Escape,
as Ford advertises.
This vehicle has special power steering
as a standard feature that reduces the force needed for operation compared to the base vehicle, making the steering wheel easier to turn during
initial acceleration and low - speed driving.
For instance the upgradeable engine components includes the cylinder head porting, electronic control unit, air filter, exhaust and high quality oil with every component within each category having the potential to increase
acceleration, braking power, top speed or handling from their
initial quality of around between 5 to 7 gradually improving towards the maximum quality of 10
as well
as increasing the maximum power, maximum torque and some component upgrades even reducing the weight of the bike.
A long terms study of a glacier draining the Grimsvotn volcano under the Vatnojokull Ice Cap indicate that there is an
initial acceleration due to increased basal melt water pressure,
as the flux increasing from the activity.
If the
initial direct forcing due to orbit change is «negligible», and the feedback mechanisms (GHG increase and albedo change) «fully account for» the temperature rise, then we should see an
acceleration of temperature rise
as these feedbacks kick in.
The bike includes «a small battery» for optimal operation, and to provide some electricity «in the absence of sunlight»
as well
as to handle the bike's
initial acceleration needs and to handle steeper grades.
