Sentences with phrase «reducing frictional»

The range of measures here is quite great; for example, engine efficiency can be improved by three different kinds of measures, increasing thermodynamic efficiency, reducing frictional losses and reducing pumping losses (these losses are the energy needed to pump air and fuel into the cylinders and push out the exhaust) and each kind of measure can be addressed by a great number of design, material and technology changes.

The main traction motor (MG2) is mounted now on a parallel shaft enabling Toyota to shrink the transmission case while also reducing frictional losses by 20 percent.
