S80 s Secret Formula Is Under The Hood

Arrest looks and excellent ergonomics are not sufficient to drive aficionados wild. In addition, Volvo will automatically increase productivity, perking up the engine. Look under the hood is just as important as other auto parts. As said modifications, Volvo expects the Volvo S80 will not only turn heads but in turn, preferences well.
Volvo Auto earlier unveiled a new high-performance six-cylinder in-line engine, that the possibilities of modern induction system that contributes both good performance and impressive fuel efficiency. A number of innovative solutions, Volvo established in the pool of engineers has been possible to produce a very compact machine. " I think it will be one of the most impressive six cylinders engines on the market & quot;, said Derek Crabb, Vice President Powertrain at Volvo Cars.
The six-cylinder 3.2 litre engine is made completely of aluminum and has more than the movement of his predecessor at 2.9. Automaker improved to 175 kW power as torque at 320 Nm. This corresponds to an increase of 31 kW and 40 Nm respectively. Said engine has been designed to blend with the new six-speed automatic gearbox. In addition, all drive was engineered to complement the rest of auto parts to create a harmonious balance and drive feel any respect.
Volvo engineers used a wide range of technologically advanced solutions for the Volvo S80 in the valvetrain and variable intake system. Decisions will be effectively prevented the engine used throughout the rollback. range. As such, it could contribute to preparedness response and excellent performance. This can be done without prejudice to the fuel efficiency of vehicle.
The Volvo S80 in valvetrain features Cam profile switching (UK) and Variable Cam Timing (VCT). These features contribute greatly to the flexibility and driveability of the Volvo S80. CPS allows the inlet valves to be lifted to a height of about two very different depending on engine load and speed. " In principle, Cam Profile Switching creates two engines in one & quot;, explained Crabb.
" We can unite widely different requirements for the same engine and easily meet the needs of customers with different desires. For example, we can equally easily satisfy customers who prioritize implementation, as well as those who are more interested in providing convenience and fuel economy ", he further adds.
The VIS, on the other hand, given two throttle valve valves, regulating consumption volume collector in addition to the driving situation. This system increases the torque and power to manage the brightest drive. " Using precise interaction with the flap valves we actually get three different torque curves that are integrated with each other & quot;, said Crabb. " Thus, we can use as an engine for extracting maximum and the maximum possible power throughout the rollback. range. The result is alert response to the accelerator pedal at low and high speeds, with generous power and good driveability ".
Another secret ingredient for the Volvo S80 is a compact form formula. Despite the engine displacement of 3.2 liters, it is very compact exterior dimensions. The whole package is only 3 mm longer than Volvo five-cylinder engine. The total length of 625 millimeters engine. " The compact format is the question of safety & quot;, explained Crabb. " This is particularly important that the engine takes minimal space in the longitudinal direction the car. Volvo in the engines fitted transversely and a compact engine thus has more space to move inside the engine compartment in the event of impact that deforms the car in front. This helps reduce the risk of engine penetration salon ".
The compact solution integrates shaft in Shaft design. " We are very proud of this compact solutions & quot;, added Crabb. " A lot of advanced development is required in order to arrive at design, which ensures a smooth and quiet operation & quot;.
" All told, the new six-cylinder engine offers a premium experience in every respect, & quot; withdrawal Crabb. " This also applies to its performance and fuel efficiency, as well as its driving comfort and sound engine. The fact that the engine design also helps enhance safety is not something the customer usually thinks about, but that, naturally, the central part of Volvo product concept ".
The new six-cylinder engine built at Ford Bridgend plant in Wales. In addition, Volvo, where the fuel injectors are collected. The plant, built in 1980, production is about 10 million engines by 2001.

Production Programs Granted to CTS Automotive Products

CTS Corporation, a leading role in the development and manufacture of electronic components and sensors have announced that its Automotive Products Division has a host of production of programmes. The programme of the production is the RTC & 39; Seat-belt tension sensor, is a radical technology used in the composition of safety belts, from cars and light trucks in the North American market. L & 39; importance of this sensor is crucial for the protection of occupants d & 39, a vehicle in case of an accident & 39;. The facility will begin production in spring this year. The product is device for use on cars are released, for 2008 years model.
The company produces the sensor provides EMS or services for the production of electronic devices for manufacturers of equipment & 39 d & amp , 39; originating in l & 39; automotive industry. These suppliers are also the same manufacturer of components of high quality as the Volvo damper meeting. The necessary parts of the production of seat belt assemblies in excess of 13 million U.S. dollars turnover. This amount will cover the entire production of RTC Automotive Products during the duration of the programmes. L & 39; company manufactures all seats in the tension of the belt sensor in its assembly plant in Elkhart, Indiana. In addition to this installation, & 39; company has also the centres of production in Toronto, Canada; Glasgow, Scotland; Ostrava, Czech Republic, Matamoros, Mexico, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and Dongguan, radical China.
The seat of power Belt sensor is currently of 39 employees of different platforms. This figure is expected in the light of the production of programmes granted l & 39; companies. The sensor is responsible for the safety of passengers in case of an accident & 39, because they transmit a signal to the vehicle by the system to classify & 39; occupiers. This system of class on board the & 39; passenger side front occupants, and from this data, & 39; board computer enables determine how l & 39; airbag. Correct determination of the occupants of the office is important because different people have the need in the provision of airbags. For example, an airbag grownup can have the pressure is higher, was a young & 39, may also prevent handle.
This sensor, in addition to the use of airbags and before & 39; cockpit when the Head said seat is empty. The sensor will also prevent the use of airbags, if he weighs less than a meadow border. It is not the only advantage of this sensor in the production, the sensor can easily into the safety belts. Not only that: The sensor for its high quality and reliable. This reliability is important, because each person knows that all safety measures have to work whenever necessary. CTS is clearly satisfied how things turn for them. Tyler Buchanan, Senior Vice President of CTS Corporation said that & quot; CTS is happy d & 39; attributed to these programmes & quot;. He added that " in these tariffs, RTC continue to demonstrate the value of this product on the market for the safety of occupants.

After potential civil war within the jeep to the market was clearly Willys and records for trademarks d & 39; registration of the name Jeep and began production for the public sector. The first models named civilian jeeps (JR) began production in 1945 and the name of the jeep was a symbol of the hard where vehicles will soon become a legend and four-wheel drive on future owners. L & 39; production history and Jeep models are as follows:

1945 - 1949 CJ-2A
1946 - 1953 CJ-3A
1947 - 1965 Willys Jeep Truck
