Therefore, the speed-dependent losses due to friction and oil churning are avoided by bringing the normally rotating elements to a standstill, while the vehicle is still driving. Compared to a conventional hang-on AWD system, the disconnect system therefore reduces the friction losses in the AWD ...
Anyways…I have since updated the compressor wheel to a 99 lb/min design compared to the above 95 lb/min design and a larger compressor housing which is more efficient. This setup has not been dyno tested yet, but talking to the engineers at Xona…2023 is going to be spicy! Close up ...
It is this revolutionary design that gives optimised strength to the Blade Battery. Longer range The space utilisation of the Blade Battery has been increased by over 50% compared with the traditional battery packs, which provides enhanced energy density and delivers longer range. Longer lifecycle ...

AWD vehicles are particularly in focus because of higher weight and more rotating components, compared to FWD or RWD, therefore resulting in lower efficiency. Interestingly, market studies are showing a worldwide AWD demand increase [1]. This can be explained by the benefits of AWD drivelines ...
produce because it requires fewer components, such as a driveshaft to the rear wheels. Additionally, FWD systems often provide better fuel efficiency for everyday driving. This is because they typically weigh less and transfer engine power to the wheels more efficiently compared to other drivetrain...
Another disadvantage of AWD is related to fuel efficiency. Compared to a two-wheel-drive (2WD) setup, AWD vehicles generally have lower fuel economy ratings. This is especially true of the full-time systems, which power all four wheels at all times. While there may be a slight drop in fu...
The rear motor adds weight, and unless it is an induction motor, it applies a braking force when it isn't powered. Even with an induction motor, there is likely more friction in the rear axle compared to the FWD model. That's why the rating is lower. #5 Trollbait, Nov 18, 2023...
live with compared to the Mercedes-AMG CLA 35. The quick-shifting DCT is catered to enthusiastic driving whilst still being obedient at low speeds. The S3, therefore, is more balanced, delivering the right amount of fun without being too harsh when it comes to ride quality, like the CLA ...
The 10AT is designed to be lightweight and compact. It features four planetary gear sets that work together to provide an exceptionally wide ratio spread of 10.147:1 compared with 6.041:1 on the previous-generation RDX’s 6-speed unit. The 10-speed also has substantially faster upshift and ...
