Wonderful energy regeneration system of suspension make the braking better

Stuttgart, -This  energy regeneration system of suspension make the braking better and Audi keep it real.

Audi wants to enter a new chapter in automotive technology to create energy regeneration system of  suspension. This idea is a step ahead of the technology that is now commonly used, namely the system of braking energy regeneration.



Wasted energy will be used to reduce fuel consumption. Audi's head of research and development Dr Ulrich Hackenberg confirmed, this technology has been successfully developed, and in the end will be mostly found in the production model.

"Many people do not realize that the shock absorbers can be very hot. While working hard on bumpy roads, dampers may be 100 to 125 degrees Celsius. This energy is wasted as heat to the atmosphere. So, we will replace the suspension with the generator, "said Hackenberg, after the launch of the A3 e-tron, a plug-in variant of Audi's first hybrid, Friday (06/27/2014).

There is no further information whether this energy regeneration will debut in concept or production car. Just described, the collected energy is stored in batteries to help the car move. Most of it will be used to supply electrical power to the car.

Hackenberg said, this system can be used for performance-oriented models. Described, the energy that has been created can be returned to the suspension, so there will be four independent variables represented each wheel. This, said Hackenberg, can reduce the symptoms of body roll.

With this feature , users no longer need a car because the key to unlock the car or start the engine because it can automatically open the door by pulling the door lever and press the button Ford Power Start to start the engine .



EcoBoost engine 1,000 cc

Well , actually testing the point at 1,000 cc EcoBoost engine , because the engine technology is completely new and will be marketed in Indonesia premiere early 2014.

Otolovers certainly still do not understand about the EcoBoost engine technology in Ford Fiesta is not it ? Here , the description as you know Otolovers .

EcoBoost is Ford's new engine technologies that hold the engine capacity of 1000 cc which has been patented . The 3 -cylinder engine combines direct fuel injection , turbocharging and variable valve timing that can generate power 125 PS and maximum torque of 170 Nm .

Ford still dare to claim that this machine can power 1.6-liter petrol engine to rival traditional .

Curious detikOto also want determines how good a small engine is fuel efficient ?

For the first stage detikOto feel so passengers in the Fiesta EcoBoost version of the hatchback .

It feels quite comfortable just dashboard looks too crowded so felt less gives the impression of freedom . But overall okay to be rear passengers .

Go to the second stage , detikOto turn to test the resilience of the EcoBoost engine , it's just not on , but in the sedan version of the hatchback . But it is no different machines , both holding a 1,000 cc engine and has the same power with the hatchback version .

Both , according to Ford Motor Indonesia ( FMI ) will be launched simultaneously in early 2014.

Brum .. The sound machine is a flame , almost detikOto not think that the engine is on. Should be recognized , for the 3 -cylinder engine , is the most delicate voice .

Well , in the second stage of this street there are varied ranging ordinary street , winding roads and winding climb up and down as well .

This is where the opportunity to test how great detikOto machine does the claimed 've earned International Engine of the Year for two consecutive years .

Around 10 minutes , it was found that a winding road just still no rise and fall . In such a way , the engine is quite responsive .

After a few minutes , the road began to climb , winding and descending . Here is the right time . Was slightly pressed the gas pedal , just not to get stuck . Acceleration is quite okay .

Peak torque is available at 1,400 to 4,500 rpm . Really tough this machine , on an uphill road though still comfortable and powerful .

Cars that detikOto try automatic transmission , occasionally trying to use the manual and it still aggressive and responsive .

For comparison, according to the claim that Ford 's EcoBoost engine can catapult power 125 PS and peak torque of 170 Nm , while for the Fiesta that uses 4 -cylinder gasoline engine 1.5-liter Ti - VCT capable of producing 112 PS and a peak torque of 140 Nm at 4,400

Perhaps thumbs up EcoBoost engine was embedded in the Ford Fiesta . Moreover , Ford also claimed in addition to having outstanding performance , this engine is also fuel efficient .

Based on Ford 's internal testing in the laboratory, its fuel consumption of 1 liter can penetrate up to 18.9 km .

"The technology of twin independent variable camshaft timing ( Ti - VCT ) allows variable control of valve overlap is very precise . Time when entry and exit valves open simultaneously on the machine . Those riders , this means an increase in torque at low speeds and increased fuel economy , " said Vehicle Engineering Manager for Small / Medium Car Product of Ford Asia Pacific , Rob Hugo .

Interestingly, to help riders improve their skills environmentally friendly driving , the Ford Fiesta also features Ford EcoMode which is a software application that is useful in measuring shifts gears when used , the anticipation of driving at speed as constant as possible and driving speed .

If the rider has a fuel-saving driving skills are good , then it will get compliments on the car shaped leaf icon on the instrument cluster in the meter cluster .



Ford Fiesta with  safety features

For safety features is also no doubt , as Ford claims that the Fiesta has a strong body . Approximately 55 percent of Ford Fiesta structure consists of high-strength steel and high -strength steel , including boron steel .

To airbag itself is available in front of the rider and passenger .

There is also an Electronic Stability Program which can help the driver maintain stability and control on slippery roads by automatically applying brake force to certain wheels lose traction in case .

There is also a Hill Launch Assist feature that helps prevent slipping Ford Fiesta backwards or forwards when the up or down a hill.

And the last is Pull - Drift Compensation that detects the road surface conditions such as convex or side wind, and adjust electric power -assisted steering system to help the rider balance traction and sliding .



conclusion

Time to provide an assessment for the Ford Fiesta EcoBoost .

Points Plus


Have exterior and interior design of a modern and sporty
EcoBoost engine technology is truly remarkable . Small engine it's pretty tough all-terrain road .
Features the complete entertainment especially with the SYNC technology that makes the driver and passengers feel comfortable when driving .

Minus points


The placement of the rearview mirror inside the cabin is quite disturbing visibility or foresight . Because of the bracket is too big .
The absence of paddle shift . For the setting from automatic to manual , the button still attached to the gear lever so if you want to use a manual transmission the driver's right hand holds the steering shaft , left hand set the rising and falling of teeth . It was deemed impractical . The car is already embeddedi by modern technology features and feels less alone when not using Paddle Shift .

This deficiency has also been trying to convey to the maker of the Ford Fiesta for ASEAN region . They are very receptive to this feedback , including Managing Director of FMI , Bagus Susanto who also receive this input .

" Pretty good , and this input into consideration that in the future we could be applied to the next -generation Fiesta , " he concluded .
