Sentences with phrase «reduced braking efficiency»

Air in the brake fluid causes braking to feel spongy and significantly reduces braking efficiency.

Not exact matches

The low - friction design of the brake calipers reduces energy losses when the brakes are not in use, directly improving fuel efficiency.

* Horsepower and torque expected to top previous model (testing is ongoing — check media.gm.com for updates) * NOx emissions reduced at least 63 percent over 2010 models * Quieter operation * High - pressure (30,000 psi / 2, 000 bar) Piezo - actuated fuel system for greater fuel efficiency, improved performance and reduced emissions * Exhaust brake system that enables controlled vehicle slowdown on downhill grades without actuating the brakes * Selective catalytic reduction after - treatment system using diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) injection to provide the best overall diesel characteristics and performance — with a range of about 5,000 miles (8,000 km) between DEF refills * Combustion and after - treatment have been optimized to provide about 700 miles (1,125 km) between diesel particulate filter regenerations — a 75 - percent improvement over the previous system and significant contributor to improved fuel efficiency, as the regeneration process requires additional fuel * B20 biodiesel capability for an alternative fueling option * Internal revisions that improve durability

Mazda then plans gradually to introduce electrical devices such as idle - stop, regenerative braking and hybrid systems to further improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.

Unlike mechanical AWD systems that reduce fuel efficiency via added weight and friction, the RX 450h's rear - mounted electric motor - generator allows all four wheels to perform regenerative braking, charging the hybrid battery more effectively.

Add - ons like the wheels are made out of carbon fibre, and the brake calipers of aluminium, to reduce the vehicle's weight, which aids fuel efficiency.

The hybrid - construction chassis consists of approximately 30 % aluminium, which reduces weight compared to an allsteel chassis, improves handling, braking and increases fuel efficiency.

With an electric servo brake system that increases electrical regenerative efficiency and a fully - electric compressor that reduces engine load, the Sport Hybrid i - DCD improves the vehicle's fuel economy by more than 35 % compared to a current IMA hybrid system.

An electric servo braking system increases regeneration efficiency, while the fully electric compressor reduces engine load.

This unusual, tall - and - skinny design is to reduce rolling resistance and therefore improve energy efficiency, while at the same time maintaining a suitable tire contact patch for handling and braking consistent with BMW expectations.

This reduces emergency braking distance and contributes to fuel efficiency improvement, auto component downsizing and price competitiveness of cars.

The brake calipers are designed to reduce brake drag when not in use, reducing rolling resistance and improving fuel efficiency in the process.

COURT Hi Jairus, I really like the [URL = «https://electricbikereview.com/bionx/d-500/»] BionX D - Series [/ URL] for power, reduced noise and the efficiency of regenerative braking.

Another tip for driving in winter rain or through puddles, is to apply the foot brake gently as you are driving every now and again, even if you don't have to stop, because the brake pads become waterlogged and your braking efficiency can be greatly reduced.
