Sentences with phrase «friction than the engine»

This unit operates with a significant 17 per cent less friction than the engine it replaces, making it one of the most efficient in the class.

Not exact matches

That and a bit of engine friction, which is less significant with modern engines than it used to be.

With its low - friction valvetrain, variable valve - timing and the latest Bosch engine management system, the V - 12 feels awake at last, and it spins effortlessly to its power peak, which comes nearly 1000 rpm higher than a decade ago.

The main updates to the engine revolve around improving combustion and heat management, plus reducing friction, and the Toyota engineers boast that the engine's 40 percent thermal efficiency is greater than any mass - produced car engine on the planet.

Although this smaller - displacement turbo four - cylinder has lower internal friction and reduced pumping loss than a Skyactiv V - 6 would, fuel efficiency drops when the engine is under high load, as the engine runs richer to help keep the cylinders cooler.

And this doesn't result in a seized engine or short engine life caused by way more friction in the parts than they were designed for?

The friction - reduction directive has Nissan more focused on improving existing powertrains rather than plunging into new engine programs.

Mazda CX - 5's SKYACTIV - G 2.5 engine has received small updates to reduce internal friction and the amount customers will spend on fuel, but no feature stands out more than its segment - exclusive cylinder - deactivation technology.

The engine has 24 per cent less internal friction than the rattling, outgoing 2.1 litre engine.

It is a development of the engine used in the 911 R and GT3 RS, with an upgraded valve train, a stiffer crank, low - friction cylinder liners, a new cylinder head design that dispenses with hydraulic valve adjusters and a 9000rpm redline - 750rpm more than the RS.

How can you get better engine efficiency or better mileage with a CVT with more transmission friction loss than dual clutch units?

And although the VC - T has more moving parts than other turbocharged, four - cylinder engines, Kiga says it produces less friction.

The new 1 - litre K10C petrol engine has greater thermal efficiency than the K10B used in other models because of a higher compression ratio (12.0:1 instead of 11.0:1), dual fuel - injection and friction reduction.

Engines based on the Small Block architecture are typically smaller and lighter than competitive engines with overhead camshafts, and typically have lower frEngines based on the Small Block architecture are typically smaller and lighter than competitive engines with overhead camshafts, and typically have lower frengines with overhead camshafts, and typically have lower friction.

The engine itself also weighs less and has less internal friction than previous iterations, the folks from Hiroshima say.

EVs offer instant torque, smooth acceleration and regenerative braking, and in the words of one EV owner, «EV driving is more fun than a clunky ICE engine, transmission, gear shifting and friction brakes.»

The design was chosen thanks to the large volume of air four valves can move, while the roller - followers provided a smoother operation with less friction than conventional lifters, adding to the engine's efficiency.

The company says more than 80 % of the parts on the four - cylinder engine are new, resulting in lower internal friction.

If the battery fills up due to regenerative braking in B the car will dissipate the energy by using the generator to spin the gas engine (known as «engine braking») rather than using the friction brakes on the wheels.

In general, we save fuel in three separate ways: first is with a grid charge; second is regenerative braking — we run very high power regen, much, much higher than anyone and we pretty much avoid the use of friction brakes; and third is running the engine at the sweet spot.

At speeds over 50 mph, wind resistance requires more power than engine and road friction.

This is particularly evident in the speed and precision with which the car responds to driver inputs and in the attention focused on reducing internal friction in the engine for lower fuel consumption than the F430, despite the fact that both overall displacement and power have increased.
