while racing for the original Bugatti company. The “16.4” refers to 16 cylinders and 4 turbochargers. ENGINE ‚ TRANSMISSION and TYRES The Veyron features an 8.0 litre‚ quad-turbocharged‚ W16 cylinder engine‚ equivalent to two narrow-angle V8 engines . Each cylinder has four valves for a total of sixty four; the engine is fed by four turbochargers. According to Volkswagen Group‚ the Veyron engine produces 1‚001 metric horsepower of motive power‚ and generates 1‚250 N-m of torque while super sport

platinum for catalysts and supplies of platinum are limited. Tesla Motors believes that the electric automobiles are an ideal solution because zero emission is produced effectively during operation‚ no fuel is consumed while running‚ and the electric engine is much simpler comparing to hybrid‚ hydrogen and conventional cars.

During motorway use‚ the hybrid power-train adds little to the efficiency of the engine at high constant power. http://www.nextgreencar.com/hybrid-cars/buying-guide.php Although hybrid cars reduce CO2 emissions greatly‚ they are less useful over continuous high speed driving‚ such as on a motorway where emission levels will increase. A hybrid car still uses to a greater or lesser extent a conventional engine‚ therefore compared to alternative power sources – such as hydrogen fuel cell or electric

development of the steam engine by George Stephenson in the late 1700’s was the technological breakthrough that led to the industrial revolution. For the first time in human history transportation could be provided without the use of domesticated animals. Steam engines were used in steam locomotives‚ steam tractors and steam ships (B.Nebel and R.Wright 1995). Stationary steam engines were rapidly established in all the major industries. The major fuel for steam engines was firewood. By the end

A closer look reveals that electric mobility is reiterating some of the errors of fossil fuel mobility. In most cases‚ electric mobility is embodied by vehicles where a battery and an electric motor replace the internal combustion engine and tank. The resulting large battery packs increase the cost and thus reduce the attractiveness of these solutions for the final user. If we are to solve the pollution‚ cost and congestion problems of the 21st century mobility‚ a more integrated

Common engine architectures include the V-type and incline engines‚ but the most unique of the three is the horizontally opposed engine. The horizontally opposed engine‚ also known as the boxer engine‚ is the only engine that has pistons that move from side-to-side and give the engine a flat look. The boxer engine has an uneventful past‚ a rich present and bright future. The original design for the boxer engine comes from Carl Benz in 1896 (Hendriks‚ 2006). The concept for the engine was scarcely

The automotive industry is major component of the American economy‚ but also is a very devastating one‚ which consumes in large quantities natural resources and generates a lot of waste. This industry contributes pollution with toxic substances and fossil fuels. By knowing the Life cycle implication of a specific design materials are the key point for managing and being able to have decision ? making strategy .The results of the Life cycle analysis of cars provide information on n environmental impact

Diesel engines are heavier so a 2500 cc diesel engine will be heavier than a 2500 cc petrol engine because stronger parts are needed for their operation‚ this extra weight will reduce their performance levels. The turbo diesel engine will gain a higher percentage of the increase in horsepower but will not automatically become faster than a similar sized gasoline engine with a turbocharger offering the same amount of boost. Complexity is reduced in a diesel engine as there is no ignition system
