Highly Efficient: ZF’s Nine-Speed Automatic Passenger Car Transmission
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In 2013, ZF Friedrichshafen AG was launching the world's first nine-speed automatic transmission (9HP) for passenger cars with front-transverse drive. With the two planned model ranges, the compact innovation covers a torque range between 200 and 480 Nm. Thanks to its modular concept, the basic transmission can be upgraded as required. This allows different starting elements and four-wheel drive applications can also be implemented costefficiently given the restricted installation space conditions with front-transverse passenger cars.

Crashworthiness Analysis and Energy Absorption Enhancement of a Passenger Rail Vehicle
Interests in increasing the trains’ speed of travel, generated higher degrees of wariness about the possible sever accidents. Since, the passenger wagon car body needs to be a safe compartment for its occupants therefore; great attention should be paid on its design. In this study, a passenger car body that is originally made in Eastern Germany and its chassis are modeled to simulat...
متن کاملTest Automation based on Computer Chess Principles
Automotive transmission systems are difficult to test and validate, due to the complex interaction of mechanics, hydraulics, electronics, and transmission control software. The tight interaction among an ever increasing amount of software functions and hardware subsystems leads to a new kind of complexity that is difficult to manage during mechatronic design. System tests have to consider huge ...
متن کاملDoes automatic transmission improve driving behavior in older drivers?
BACKGROUND Most older drivers continue to drive as they age. To maintain safe and independent transport, mobility is important for all individuals, but especially for older drivers. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate whether automatic transmission, compared with manual transmission, may improve the driving behavior of older drivers. METHOD In total, 31 older drivers (m...
متن کاملModeling and simulation of the acoustic behavior of a muffler in a passenger car exhaust system
Muffler is one of the main components of an automotive exhaust system, which reduces the noise of the exhaust system. In this paper, modeling and simulation of the acoustic behavior of a muffler is presented with the aid of an engineering software. For this purpose, firstly, an analytical model is presented to evaluate the sound transmission loss in cylindrical shells based on Sander's theory....
متن کاملAutomotive Transmission Efficiency Measurement Using a Chassis Dynamometer
−Automotive transmission efficiency measurements are usually performed on purpose-built rigs. A simple model was developed for calculating the overall transmission efficiency of passenger cars by using a chassis dynamometer. Wheel power and engine output were measured, and these values were used for calculations. The proposed method can only be employed for vehicles with manual drive because it...
