Charging electric vehicles

61%
Electric vehicle charging is a central aspect of electromobility: Electric cars rely on charging stations to recharge their batteries and extend their range. hybrid,electric Function Charging modes and connectors [Translate to English:] Ladesysteme für das DC-Schnellladen Environmental protection Safety Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are powered by batteries that are charged as and when necessary. Electric vehicles can be charged at various locations, for example at home, at…

Braking force regulator

60%
When the brakes on a vehicle are applied, the vehicle weight shifts from the rear axle to the front axle. This is known as dynamic axle load transfer. The load on the rear wheels is relieved and their road grip is reduced... combustor,hybrid,electric Function Safety Depreciation When the brakes on a vehicle are applied, the vehicle weight shifts from the rear axle to the front axle. This is known as dynamic axle load transfer. The load on the rear wheels is relieved and their…

Rear-axle steering

59%
Some passenger cars are equipped with rear-axle steering to improve vehicle dynamics. combustor,hybrid,electric Function Sicherheit Rear-axle steering involves turning the wheels on the rear axle, which has a direct effect on the vehicle dynamics. This is an advantage in many different driving situations. The ability to change the toe angle of the rear wheels provides the driver with different steering functions: In tight corners or with tight driving manoeuvres, the driver can…

Wheel sensors

59%
The wheel sensor has the task of recording the speed of the wheels and communicating this information to the driving safety systems in the form of an electrical signal. All modern vehicles are... combustor,hybrid,electric Function SafetyToday, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) is a standard feature of all new vehicles in Europe. ESP® is not far behind. To function reliably, electronic driving safety systems need information about the speed of the wheels, the dynamic behaviour of…

If you’ve accidently put the wrong fuel in the tank, how you resolve it can make the real difference.

59%
Filling the tank with the wrong type of fuel is a horrible realisation, but you’d hardly be on your own, as according to motoring organisation the RAC, it’s a mistake that 150,000 drivers in the UK make every year. If you’ve accidently put the wrong fuel in the tank, how you resolve it can make the real difference. • Don’t turn the key! • Stuttering to a halt • Worse if you put petrol in a diesel Filling the tank with the wrong type of fuel is a horrible realisation, but you’d…

Torsion-beam rear axle

59%
As load-bearing connections between the wheels and body, the axles assume a key function in the chassis system. The axles transfer all forces and torques between the wheels and vehicle bodywork. There is a differentiation between independent suspensions, rigid axles and torsion-beam axles. In the broadest sense, torsion-beam rear axles are a variant of the rigid axle. combustor,hybrid,electric Function Safety Protection of the environment Value retentionTorsion-beam rear axles…

Hydraulic clutch actuator

59%
The clutch actuator is part of the overall clutch system and can operate either mechanically or hydraulically. combustor,hybrid Function Safety The clutch actuator is part of the overall clutch system and can operate either mechanically or hydraulically. With a clutch actuation system, the driver controls the interruption of power transmission by pressing the pedal. The force exerted is transmitted by several components and passed on to the actual clutch system. The process…

Drum brake in electric and hybrid cars

59%
Drum brakes may date back almost as far as cars themselves, but they are still installed in some electric and hybrid vehicles today. Together with the disc brake, they are a type of friction brake and supplement the regenerative brake system with recuperation function in many brake systems. hybrid,electric Function Safety Value retention The conventional friction brake remains indispensable, even in hybrid and electric vehicles that have a regenerative brake system, because the…

Strut

59%
The strut refers to the connection between the shock absorber and the suspension spring. It is a central component of a vehicle's suspension system. combustor,hybrid,electric Function Safety The illustration shows a spring, which is one of the components of the suspension strut. Source: Herth+Buss The strut combines the shock absorber and the suspension spring, linking the chassis to the wheel. It plays a crucial role in comfort, stability, and safety. A strut integrates two…

Fuel Pump
