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.
