Sentences with phrase «friction losses by»

According to the Honda Accord's Chief Engineer, Koji Ninomiya, the key advantage of Honda's two - motor approach over the power - split design is its simpler gearing which can reduce internal transmission friction losses by as much as 50 percent.

In all modes, the Golf reduces friction losses by decoupling the motor from the one - speed transmission and «sailing» whenever you lift off the pedal.
