Global Small Diesel Engine (Non-Road) Market: Regional Segment Analysis (Regional Production Volume, Consumption Volume, Revenue and Growth Rate 2013-2023):

In 2015 General Motors dodged another recall which came four years after a federal investigation into many of the older trucks. Over 5 million Chevrolet and GMC vehicles were affected more so those in salt estate. The rusting occurred on the brake lines. Despite reports says that the rust doesn’t make the vehicles defective, the question is who on earth wants to ride on a vehicle with rust on them? The corrosion makes the driver of feels like the back wheels are smocking. The GMC vehicles that were affected were those built between 1997 and 2003 and some of the vehicles included Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Pickups.

Based on the product, the report will provide a valuation in the Diesel Engines for Non-Automotive Applications Sales market, that will include sales volume, revenue, product price, market share and growth rate of each type:

As i said below in other posts, passive systems like abs are good. They don’t take control from the driver, just control the input or hold the driver in place (belts, airbags). But these systems designed to suddenly take control or start adding their own inputs are contradictory to having attentive drivers in control of their vehicles. Train people how to drive, and hold them to it. Don’t add these systems to make up for distracted and poor driving. Driving isn’t a difficult task. Most people can handle it if they’re prepared and focused.

I think in at least some of the cases, detractors don’t like these active safety mechanisms because it forces them to admit that they aren’t as safe as they think they are. Every time the car beeps during a lane change, it’s a reminder that they didn’t use their signal like they should have. Every time the car beeps and applies the brakes when the car in front of them stops quickly, it reminds them that they were following too close.

The major manufacturers covered in this report Caterpillar, Cummins, MAN, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Detroit Diesel, Deutz, Fairbanks Morse, GE Transportation, HATZ Diesel, Henan Diesel Engine Industry, Henan Diesel Engine Industry¸ J C Bamford, Rolls-Royce, Volvo, Wartsila

They don’t like it because it reminds them that they are the menace and it’s only luck and other people’s caution that’s prevented them from causing more accidents.

It’s difficult to offer a cost differential between a typical 700R4 and 4L60E overdrive transmission because there are so many variables that will directly affect the end game. The controllers alone vary from $650 to over $1,400. We priced comparable 700R4 and 4L60E transmissions from Hughes Performance for example, and the price difference on just the transmission was only $100 ($1,834 vs. $1,934 through Summit Racing), so based on that, the 4L60E could run an additional $1,000 to $1,200 more depending upon the component choices.

The SCR system is fully serviceable, meaning the catalysts can be removed without the need for new or special tools and easily replaced when needed, Cummins said. Catalyst life is expected to match the engine life to overhaul in an effort to minimize downtime. In addition to the serviceability of the SCR system, the Vanadia-based catalyst is capable of tolerating up to 5000 ppm sulfur fuel, which allows customers to continue to use the same quality fuel they have always used with Cummins products.

Also, since GM’s proposed e-clutch system only needs a couple of wires to connect the pedal to the slave cylinder, it frees up engineers to play with the position of the clutch in relation to the driver. This could be a significant benefit on a car like, say, the midengined Corvette prototype that’s been seen testing at the Nurburgring.
