As well as providing a power boost to assist the gasoline
engine during acceleration, the electric motor can also power the vehicle by itself.
Weight shifts to the rear
wheels during acceleration, improving traction, while front wheels that are independent of the drive force deliver smoother handling.
Good acceleration, smooth steering and suspension, and effortless transitioning of
gears during acceleration are second to none.
More impressive, the eight - speed automatic transmission shifts incredibly smoothly, barely letting itself be felt
during acceleration runs or dealing with the everyday stop - and - go of city traffic.
This four - channel system works with the drive - by - wire throttle and the brakes to provide traction control and better operator
control during acceleration, braking and cornering.
More refined calibration of the dampers results in a smoother overall ride and improves body roll control and weight
transfer during acceleration or turning.
The system also features regenerative braking to capture electrical energy during braking, electric power
assist during acceleration, low - rolling resistance tires and improved aerodynamics.
The automatic's shifts were quick and crisp and kept the turbo boost up where it could do some
good during acceleration.
Now that you know at what operating conditions your vehicle is most efficient the difficulty then becomes running your engine in those conditions at all
times during acceleration.
The generator closely matches the peak output of the engine but the larger traction motor can also draw at least 30 horses from the 1.3 - kWh lithium - ion
battery during acceleration.
There are a couple other new features, too, such as rebound springs that improve ride by eliminating
lift during acceleration and dive during hard braking.
The AC has a vacuum reservoir that is designed to hold a vacuum to the AC blend
doors during acceleration, or low engine vacuum conditions.
Like a gas - electric hybrid, it uses a lithium ion battery to assist the fuel
cell during acceleration and capture energy through regenerative braking, thus improving fuel efficiency.
Yet even with this wider spread, the steps between adjacent gears are reduced; in turn this means a stronger, smoother flow of
power during acceleration.
The e-tron Spyder can combine the powerful torque of its TDI — the diesel engine generates 650 Nm (479.42 lb - ft) and the total of 352 Nm (259.62 lb - ft) of its two electric
motors during acceleration in a process known as «boosting.»
Sometimes called a «mild» hybrid, eAssist provides additional
torque during acceleration via a motor / alternator / generator located on the gasoline engine itself.
Porsche also quotes a 0 - 200 km / h time of less than 12.0 sec for its new concept, which uses an on - demand four - wheel drive system in which the front wheels are driven
only during acceleration, under hard driving or on slippery road surfaces.
Both coming and going, spaceflight can threaten tourists» health, with potential dangers from higher gravitational
forces during acceleration, and space motion sickness that strikes some people in low and zero - gravity.
With that much engine we expected more from the Durango
during the acceleration testing at the dragstrip, but when we factored in the SUV's curb weight and NV244 full - time four - wheel - drive system, we were again reminded that what we want to use a 4x4 for and what the design team had in mind are not always the same thing.
Traction Control System (TCS) Helps to keep driving wheels from
spinning during acceleration from a stop or during slow speeds by applying individual brakes alone or in combination with engine torque limitation to prevent wheel slip.
The normal distribution of the tractive power is clearly biased toward the rear axle in accordance with the weight distribution of the e-tron Spyder and the dynamic shift in axle
load during acceleration.
Cons: Middling acceleration at low RPM; engine is a bit
noisy during acceleration; raised - height rear seats can compromise headroom for tall occupants
Under hard acceleration, the CVT can leave the engine at high revs for longer than we'd prefer, but many cars in this class are rather loud
during acceleration even with traditional automatic transmissions.
In creating driving performance worthy of Nissan's flagship, the Maxima body and chassis engineering teams worked together to create a secure feeling, virtually no torque
steer during acceleration and a level of nimbleness that ultimately makes a car fun to drive.
For optimal power production and angles, the athlete's core must be trained to resist the motions created by the movement of their limbs
during an acceleration movement such as a plyo step.
The drive unit provides additional power to assist the engine
during acceleration for 182 horsepower (136 kW) of total system power.
