Electronic Engine Case Study

In 2002 a joint project between International Navistar and the Ford Motor Company was born. “The goal of this project was to create an engine that was fuel efficient, emission compliant and would be able to outperform all of the competition” (Banks Power). With over 2 million ford super duty’s equipped with the 7.3l Powerstroke engine on the road, the new engine would have big shoes to fill. The engine that was to replace the outdated, underpowered and overall inadequate 7.3l Powerstroke was the International Navistar 6.0l turbo diesel.

The Cummins diesel engine was manufactured in the year 1919 by its creator Clessie Cummins. The Cummins was put in a variety of vehicles and the most common are in the dodge ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 series rams. It is also put into more heavy-duty trucks such as Peterbilt semis. The reason people choose Cummins over Chevy’s Duramax or Ford’s Powerstroke is because Cummins’ are built to last longer meaning they can go more hours without maintenance. The Cummins diesel engines have several different designs, and a number of different models, and assembling one takes money, time, effort, and knowledge.

Overall, I would say the diesel engine is the better of the two. Of course it all depends on the usage and perhaps the price of the vehicle but overall the diesel engine is more rugged and reliable, long-lasting, stronger, more efficient and requires less

Like what I've detailed in my previous reviews, this technology is the popular choice of most truck manufacturers since it has the ability to improve the overall performance of the rig. If you'll ask me, I believe that this is one of the best features of the vehicle. I also happen to visit a trusted truck dealer, Brown and Hurley, and they also pointed out that the Cummins engine is really the selling point of the 2010

Bolt-on counterweights and EVO crankshafts go straight to heat treatment. Bolt-on crankshafts receive their heat treatment process, and EVOs go through a normalization process. After some rough machining and layout, EVOs get counterweights welded on, and then go through the heat treatment process. Heat treatment is a very important area in the manufacturing process. Without properly heat treating, the customer specifications on strength and durability might not be met. The heat treatment could affect downstream processes. After the crankshaft will bend if a proper normalization process was not conducted. The straightness of the crankshaft is also very important. If the crankshaft is bent too much, there might not be enough stock for the machining

1. No emissions. One of the big reasons EVs are so attractive to some is that they emit absolutely no emissions. If you are worried about your direct impact on the environment, an electric vehicle will allay those concerns.

Threats: Camar’s greatest threat is its existing competitors, as well as emerging new competitors. Obsoleteness of the Scissor Lift is also a growing concern. As Camar has only a small fraction of the market share in the hoist industry, the goal for achieving higher sales may cause the firm to lose focus on technological advances. Additionally, Camar faces a possible threat of suppliers not complying with their contracts, hence damaging the company’s image as a quality product and service provider.

This engine found its way into a lot of cars. You can find them in an entry-level Pontiac LeMans or a prestigious GTO Judge. You'll also find them in family cars like the Bonneville and Catalina station wagons. With the supply far exceeding the demand these engines can be picked up cheap. And parts are still readily available for rebuilding.

Electric cars possess less moving parts; for this reason, they have fewer maintenance requirements and expenses. Without a doubt;

These engines were created to balance heavy-duty performance with fuel-efficiency. This way, you know there is not a passenger load your 2016 NV can't handle.

The survey section focuses on the anticipated benefits and drawbacks that are associated with the use of the electric car technology.

The piston then travels down pulling in fresh air, (third stroke), after the piston bottoms again it travels up compressing the fresh air, (fourth stroke). The fuel is then injected and one cycle is completed in 720 degrees or two full rotations of the crankshaft.

Tesla EV Focus on potential cost saving on gas, reduce cost on service and repair.

From the outset of the ESX program, DaimlerChrysler engineers have sought ways to not only achieve the performance goals of PNGV but have striven to reduce the cost premium associated with hybrid electric technology. In the ESX3 they have cut the cost in half from the $15,000 of the ESX2 to just $7,500 in two years time.

 It wasn’t until the early 1970’s that car manufacturers saw a need to restrict the pollutants from their automobiles.  Thus came the advancements of new emission controlling components in the vehicles.  There was the catalytic converter which changed carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, this change still resulted in pollution but significantly decreased the harm done.  Next came EGR which is Exhaust Gas Recirculation and forces unburned gas from the exhaust back into the engine making the car far more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly.  Unfortunately the next thing to follow was a serious toning down of the power of the engines.  The earlier thoughts were that bigger and more powerful were better, however these types of cars sent pollution caused by automobiles into an exponential growth.  The internal combustion engine vehicles that are on the road right now account for the vast majority of the air pollution around the world.  The electric vehicles, however, have zero emissions.  If this proposal is passed, then the condition of the urban airways will be
