Nissan Motor Company
A spring made from wire that has been wound into a spiral shape. Coil springs are used in the suspension of many vehicles.
Industry:Automotive
A diesel direct fuel-injection system that maintains constant pressure throughout the fuel line. The engine's electronics regulate the injection pressure and timing according to engine speed and load.
Industry:Automotive
Crawl ratio is calculated by multiplying transmission gears, transfer case (in 4Lo) and axle differentials. The lower the crawl ratio is, the slower a vehicle can “crawl” in first gear and low range. Low crawl ratios mean higher torque available at the wheels, good for climbing steep gradients.
Industry:Automotive
Transmission part located between the gearbox and wheels. The differential allows a speed difference between left and right wheels or between front and rear axles to avoid wheels scrubbing.
Industry:Automotive
Engine system where petrol or diesel is injected directly into the engine cylinder instead of in a pre-combustion chamber or manifold. Direct injection provides more efficient combustion with lower consumption and gas emissions.
Industry:Automotive
A braking system where a calliper forces a pair of brake pad against the disc rotor in each wheel, stopping the vehicle.
Industry:Automotive
A braking system where a hydraulic cylinder forces a pair of brake shoes against the inner surface of the brake drum, which is a metal cylinder, in order to stop the vehicle.
Industry:Automotive
Power system prototype. The fuel cell generates electric power by combining oxygen and hydrogen. Its only waste product is water steam.
Industry:Automotive
Fuel injection delivers fuel under pressure into an engine's combustion chamber.
