Sentences with phrase «reduce aerodynamic resistance»

Aerodynamic blades feature on the outer edges of the rear window, and the floating rear wing, integrated rear spoiler and spoiler lip reduce aerodynamic resistance.

Not exact matches

It features low - rolling resistance tires to reduce road friction, has grille shutters and sits lower to the ground, making the car more aerodynamic and slippery against the wind at high speeds.

«Reducing losses caused by friction, aerodynamic drag, and rolling resistance improves overall efficiency,» explained Wesoloski.

The EV version is fundamentally similar, but even more eye - catching thanks to its blanked off radiator grille and unique 16 - inch alloy wheels which are designed for reduce aerodynamic drag and are wrapped in low rolling resistance tyres.

It is focusing its efforts on five areas aimed at reducing fuel consumption and emissions: vehicle energy use (weight, aerodynamics, and rolling resistance); engines; transmissions; axles and drivelines; and hybrid propulsion and alternative fuel technologies.

The vehicle body's unique aluminique structure considerably lowers its gross vehicle weight, while the aerodynamic body design and tubeless tyres reduce drag and rolling resistance, altogether improving fuel efficiency.

The Ford Atlas Concept goes further to save fuel through a combination of active aerodynamic elements that reduce wind resistance.

When it comes to aerodynamics, all 2018 Cayenne models feature active cooling air flaps, which reduce air resistance when closed and improve cooling when opened.

A number of design and technology measures are readily available to increase a truck's fuel efficiency, including: low - rolling resistance tires, more efficient engines, devices to reduce idling and aerodynamic drag, and predictive cruise control.

A combination of these with other technologies, including materials substitution, reduced aerodynamic drag, reduced rolling resistance, reduced engine friction and pumping losses, has the potential to approximately double the fuel economy of «new» light - duty vehicles by 2030, thereby roughly halving carbon emissions per vehicle mile travelled (note that this is only for a new car and not the fleet average)(medium agreement, medium evidence)[5.3.1].

Second, the IEA report finds that energy - efficiency improvements for the existing fleet should include aerodynamic retrofits to reduce drag as well as low - rolling resistance tires.

We can wonder, though, if simply down - sizing cars and engines, using more carbon fibers and advanced materials, improving aerodynamics, reducing rolling resistance in tires, etc, might not be an easier way to gain efficiency.

Such breakthroughs reflect a variety of factors, notably including more advanced aerodynamic designs that not only reduce wind resistance but also lower wind noise.
