Sentences with phrase «efficient transmissions today»

Not exact matches

Among other adjustments that could help double fuel economy are turbocharging with smaller, more efficient engines that produce the same level of power; advanced heat management and cooling systems, which reuse the heat produced in the engine for energy; weight reduction, including broader use of high - strength steel that is already in some cars today; better aerodynamics; more efficient air conditioners, transmissions and lighting devices (including headlights); and increased electrification leading to full hybridization with electric motor and regenerative breaking — all of which currently exist.

The hope is to find ways to raise the operating temperature for real - world energy - saving applications — things like highly efficient power generation and transmission and computers that work at speeds thousands of times faster than today's.

Today, the reverse is true, because many automatic transmissions are more fuel efficient than manual transmissions and they last a long time.

It may sound backwards to those that remember the bad old days, but today's automatic transmissions are far more efficient than manuals.
