Savings of 17 %, and less wear on
friction braking components, are claimed for Virgin Trains Pendolinos.
Not exact matches
In harder stops, the ECU initiates a chain reaction of commands to
brake system
components, proportioning
friction brake energy to each wheel.
e.g., (i) degraded combustion, if any, (ii) momentum in the moving engine parts prior to the clutch plate, (iii) momentum due to the physical displacement of the vehicle, (iv)
friction due to movement of the vehicle, of which air resistance is one
component, (v) dissipation of kinetic energy in the compression stroke, and (vi)
braking.
Revised steering (a specially modified steering rack, designed to reduce
friction and improve feel), improved wheel damping (via Bilstein shocks), uprated trim, and Lucerne
braking components are all aimed at providing the LaCrosse Super with more over-the-road speed.
The
braking system relies on
friction to help it slow the momentum of the wheels to bring the vehicle to a stop, produced by the cooperation of
brake components such as the Ford
brake caliper,
brake pads, and the
brake disc.
In harder stops, the ECU initiates a chain reaction of commands to
brake system
components, proportioning
friction brake energy to each wheel.
