Automobile Drivelines.

摘要

This study assesses automobile driveline components and configurations,quantifying their performance as possible in the context of such current issues as fuel economy,exhaust emission reduction,safety,driveability,production costs and lead times,and engine life. The current and projected driveline technology is described. The results of simulation studies using the DOT/TSC Vehicle Simulation Program to analyze vehicles incorporating various driveline components and configurations in relation to fuel economy,acceleration,emissions and other factors of interest are also reported.
