Diesel Engines for Non-Automotive Applications Sales Market – Analysis for the top companies like Caterpillar, Cummins, MAN | High Quality Fuel Injection Nozzle

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.

The recall covers 36 different Harley-Davidson bikes spread across model years 2017 and 2018, according to U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration documents. For the full vehicle list with accompanying model codes, click here. 

I have a 2014 that has rear & front parking sensors, as well as lane departure warning. They are awful. Basically anytime I hit the turn signal, beeeeeeeeeeep. The car in the next lane can be 4 cars lengths back, but I still get a ding. I put it in reverse, beeeeeeepp. To let me know there are cars driving on the road 40 feet past the parking lot I’m in.

I would think raising or lowering your vehicle would have always voided your warranty. The vehicle was rigorously tested with a given suspension setup, level of vibration, etc. How could a company warranty something that’s so different from what they delivered to you?

There was a time in the mid-’50s when serious small-block and W-motored big-block Chevys danced off the showroom floor with twin Carter WCFBs bolted to a 2×4 intake manifold. John Buck is a longtime enthusiast with a bitchin back-in-black ’56 Chevy powered by a carbureted Chevrolet Performance ZZ502 big-block crate engine. He’s always liked that 2×4 look and decided that the eight-barrel approach deserved a shot.

The cost thing is spot on as well, and compounds my annoyance. These “features” that I don’t want or need in the first place are also prone to failure and cost a lot of money to fix.

Here are some key facts: 1) The major causes of vehicular collisions are: distracted driving, impaired driving, excess speed, disregarding road rules/signs/lights. All driver error. So therefore blameworthy and not an ‘accident’. 2) Despite an increase in collisions, death rates have decreased. The reason being government mandated ‘passive’ safety devices such as crumple zones, 3 point seatbelts, etc. Proof that government mandating improves safety. 3) It is accepted that the best way to survive a collision is to avoid it. And ‘active’ safety devices such as stability control have proven to reduce these collisions by allowing drivers to take more extreme action without rolling over. ABS has also proven effective by allowing less ‘practiced’ drivers to engage in emergency braking and still steer or stop faster than applying the ‘binders’. So again proven effective. 4) So if all of the above government mandated safety initiatives have proven themselves statistically reduce accidents, and save lives, then why are you arguing against them??????????

The point: someone’s gonna integrate/reproduce accident avoidance systems on a scale that lowers the price to cheap(ish)… but it’s gonna take time.

By 2020, Wellenzohn anticipates between 5 and 10 percent of Deutz’s market will be electric drives with China as the biggest customer. There is a big push on for electrification of drivelines in China to help combat that countries serious air pollution problems. In fact the mayor of Beijing attended the first day of Deutz’s event in Cologne.

And though it might be redundant to mention, it’s important to always check your mirrors, turn your head and maintain awareness of your surroundings while reversing.

Many of us thought that in 2004/05 at the auction including seasoned wholesalers. I wasn’t there for Volt/Leaf but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were skeptics then too. Being careful with one’s floorplan is not necessarily a bad thing.

While Kostura admitted that he perhaps should have driven his gas 2018 Colorado ZR2 with 2,700 miles on the clock more slowly, he said the trail seemed fairly mild, particularly in the section where the airbags deployed. He guesses that was only about a six to seven degree incline.
