Recently, a number of multinational car companies raced to discover news about R&D of new engines. For example, Ford wanted to invest 500 million U.S. dollars in the production of a new EcoBoost V6 engine, Bentley produced W12 cylinder engines for Volkswagen and Audi, and Volvo will introduce new engines in China. Mahindra plans to work with Ssangyong. Jointly developed engines... Among them, Porsche and GM are advancing the miniaturization of the powertrain. Porsche wants to develop a new four-cylinder engine. General Motors is pushing a new generation of small-displacement engines for new markets such as China.
Ford intends to increase its engine factory output <br> <br> Recently, Ford announced that it will invest its plant in Lima, Ohio, $ 500 million for the production of new EcoBoostV6 engine and mounted on the company The new F-150 pickup produced.
In January 2014, the 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6 engine and the 2015 F-150 pickup were jointly exhibited at the North American International Auto Show. The latter will be launched in the US in the fourth quarter of 2014, and the Lima plant will also launch the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 at this time. Engine production.
In order to start production of the above new engines, Ford will spend US$500 million to upgrade the Lima plant for a new flexible engine assembly system, and will also renovate the 700,000-square-foot factory building used for processing and assembly.
Porsche wants to develop a new four-cylinder engine
Recently, Porsche CEO Mullen revealed that Porsche will continue to implement miniaturization strategy and develop a new four-cylinder horizontally opposed engine for the next-generation Porsche Boxster and Cayman models.
With respect to the power output capability of the new four-cylinder horizontally opposed engine, Mullen said it can achieve "400ps (metric horsepower, 395bhp brake horsepower)".
Bentley will produce W12 Cylinder Engines for Volkswagen and Audi On March 19, Bentley Motors announced that it will increase the production capacity of its W12 engine for Volkswagen and Audi brand models. It will become the only W12 engine manufacturer for Volkswagen. This is Bentley's first realization of the engine. Product exports.
Bentley said that by the end of 2014, the headquarters plant in Crewe, UK, will become the parent company Volkswagen Group's 12-cylinder engine manufacturing center responsible for the production of all Volkswagen W12-cylinder engines. Bentley's future production of W12 cylinder engines will meet Euro 6 emission standards for Bentley models, Audi's flagship A8 sedan, and Volkswagen Phaeton models.
Currently, Volkswagen and Bentley each have a W12-cylinder engine production business, while Bentley is the largest W12-cylinder engine manufacturer. Volkswagen produces W12 engine at Salzgitter factory in Germany, equipped with Volkswagen and Audi high-end models; Bentley Crewe factory produces 6.0-liter W12 engine for Bentley Continental GT Coupe, Bentley Continental GTC Convertible and Bentley Fincher The future SUV is also expected to carry the engine.
General Motors New Generation Small-displacement Engines On March 19, GM announced that it will launch 11 new-generation small-displacement engines, with a displacement of 1.0 to 1.5 liters, a modular architecture and advanced performance; The large plant was put into operation, and its annual output exceeded 2.5 million units. Many new models, including the new Cruze in the Chinese market, will carry this series of engines.
The new generation of small-displacement Ecotec engine family is based on global design and production R&D. Ecotec Engines is headquartered in Pontiac, Michigan, USA, and the specific design and verification work is done by GM's globally distributed engineering centers, including SAIC Shanghai, Shanghai General Motors SGM and Pan Asia Automotive Technology Center PATAC. participate.
It is estimated that by 2017, the entire new generation of Ecotec engines will be produced at least at GM's five global plants, with annual production exceeding 2.5 million units. The five plants are located in Flint, Michigan, USA, Shenyang, China, Szentgotthárd, Hungary, Toluca, Mexico, and Changwon, Korea. GM's investment in the Flint plant alone exceeds $200 million to increase the technical and technological level of engine production.
GM said that the new generation of small-displacement engines will be applied to a variety of small cars and compact SUVs under the General Motors Corporation, including the new generation Chevrolet Cruze in the Chinese market and Opel Adam in the German market. Steve Kiefer, vice president of global powertrain engineering at General Motors, said that by 2017, this series of engines will be mounted on 27 models of the five major brands of General Motors.
Volvo will introduce a new engine <br> <br> Volvo cars in China will introduce a new generation of Drive-E engine in China. It is reported that the first domestic model to introduce a new engine is the XC60, followed by the S60 and V60.
There are eight versions of the Drive-E inline four-cylinder series engine with a 2.0-liter displacement. The engine also has a variety of energy-saving designs, including reducing the running friction of the engine, introducing an idle stop system, forced air intake system, and braking kinetic energy. Recovery systems, etc., through the application of these technologies to further reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
Mahindra to be jointly developed with Ssangyong engine <br> <br> Recently, the president of Mahindra Automotive and Farm Equipment PawanGoenka said the company and Ssangyong Motor will jointly develop an engine and mounted it on the X100 compact SUV, upcoming on. In addition, he expects the two companies will eventually launch six engines, including gasoline and diesel versions.
Control Arm:
The Control Arm respectively through a ball joint or bushing to wheel and body elastically connected together. The control arm connect the car body and wheel together with Ball Joint or rubber bushing,so it need to be sufficient on the stiffness, strength and service life.
Usually,the metal is manufactured via Aluminium Die Casting or forging.
The car is divided into a front arm swing arm and the lower arm, the swing arm is suspension guide and support, the deformation of the wheel positioning, reduce vehicle stability; and the lower arm of the main role is to support the body, Shock Absorber and buffer driving vibration of reducer. Under the suspension arm can play a supporting role well, with shock absorbers and springs of tacit agreement can constitute a set of excellent suspension system (assembly).
Different category:
1. Lateral stabilizer bar link
During the suspension installation, stable rod one end of the connecting rod through the Rubber Bushing and the stabilizer bar links, the other end is connected by rubber bushings or ball hinge with the control arm or the shock absorber tube, stabilizer bar connecting rod used in selecting a symmetry, which improve the operating stability.
2. Tie rod
In the suspension installation, tie rod end of the rubber bushing is connected with the frame or body, the rubber bushing is connected with the hub. Another section of the transverse rod multi link suspension control arm should be used for such multi vehicle and steering system, mainly subjected to lateral loads, while the guide wheel movement.
3. Vertical pull rod
Mostly applied for vertical rod suspension to transfer drag, traction and braking force.
4. Single control arm
This kind of automobile control arm is mostly used in multi link suspension, and two single control arms can be used to transfer the lateral and longitudinal loads from the wheel.
5. The fork arm (V)
The control arm of automobile used under the arm of the double wishbone suspension on the arm of wheat Jefferson suspension fork structure, the main arm of the lateral load transfer.
6. Triangle arm
The control arm of automobile used under the arm of the front suspension Jefferson wheat suspension, used to transfer the horizontal and vertical load, the relative motion control of the wheel and body.
