One competitor, really, the Land Rover Range Rover and HUMMER H2 old G-Class has been raised for the Iranian military in the 1970s. Rather than shelve the project during the revolution of this country, instead Mercedes began building and selling the vehicle, which continues to this day, nearly in the same form since the 1980s, but with improvements its major internal communications and security devices.

With its flat sides, nearly vertical windshield, and body square surprisingly, it is easy to see the martial applications of the G-Class. Climb inside, however, and a really rich interior paneling and leather upholstery welcomes drivers and passengers, as it does in the Mercedes-Benz the most.

Buyers of the $ 100,000 or more G-Class is offered two choices in performance. 2011 Mercedes G550 sports smooth, valiant 382-power V-8 engine mated to a seven-speed automatic. The 5.5-liter, 500 hp G55 AMG adds a supercharger intercooled and modernization of a more beefy five-speed automatic push the body barn door through the atmosphere. The G550 speeds up to 60 km / h in 8 seconds, the G55 AMG flows more beastly to 60 km / h in 5.4 seconds, while gulping gas to the tune of 11/13 mpg. The smaller V-8 manages 12/15 mpg. Aesthetic distinctions between them are rare, although the G550 has a new 18-inch wheels this year, while the G55 AMG 19-incher, and unique emblem and chrome trim, door sills with illuminated.

Thank you to its empty weight and huge great body, the G-Class handles with a feeling too heavy which requires attention to driving on the highway, especially in crosswinds. Ultimately, it has amazing grip, and with the overload of the G55 is manic power, the big SUV can be really fast. Off road, it's a goat, with an exceptional ability to crawl and three locking differentials - and a true low range - to keep plugging away in the mud, gravel and snow.

Electronic brake distribution (EBD) in Car

noreply@blogger.com (raja) — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 11:47:00 +0000

Electronic brake distribution (EBD or REF), the limitation electronic braking (EBL) and electronic brake assist (EBA) is an automotive braking technology that automatically varies the amount of force applied to each of the brakes of a vehicle, depending on road conditions, speed, loading, etc. always coupled with anti-lock brakes, EBD can apply more or less braking pressure to each wheel to maximize stopping while maintaining control of vehicle power . Typically, the front end bears the greater weight and less EBD distributes brake pressure to the rear brakes for the rear brakes do not lock and cause skid.In some systems, EBD distributes brake pressure more about the rear brakes during the initial application of the brakes before the effects of weight transfer occur.

How EBD works

As per SAE technical paper #920646 - Buschmann et al. "The job of the EBD as a subsystem of the ABS system is to control the effective adhesion utilization by the rear wheels. The pressure of the rear wheels is approximated to the ideal brake force distribution in a partial braking operation. To do so, the conventional brake design is modified in the direction of rear axle overbraking, and the components of the ABS are used. EBD reduces the strain on the hydraulic brake force proportioning valve in the vehicle. EBD optimizes the brake design with regard to: adhesion utilization; driving stability; wear; temperature stress; and pedal force."

EBD may work in conjunction with ABS and Electronic Stability Control ("ESC") to minimize yaw accelerations during turns. ESC compares steering wheel angle to vehicle turning rate using a yaw rate sensor. "Yaw" is the vehicle's rotation around its vertical center of gravity (turning left or right). If the yaw sensor detects more/less yaw than the steering wheel angle should create, the car is understeering or oversteering and ESC activates one of the front or rear brakes to rotate the car back into its intended course. For example, if a car is making a left turn and begins to understeer (the car plows forward to the outside of the turn) ESC activates the left rear brake, which will help turn the car left. The sensors are so sensitive, and the actuation is so quick that the system may correct direction before the driver reacts. ABS helps prevent wheel lock-up and EBD helps apply appropriate brake force to make ESC work effectively.

Bravo will be imported by India as CBU Fiat (Compeletely built units) from Italy and will be sold in a price range of 16-18 lakhs. It is due to our high tax structure, which is 104 percent on imports loan. Fiat said that Bravo will be sold in limited numbers as the recently launched Fiat 500.

Engines - It is available with two engine options - a petrol and diesel. Diesel is 1910cc, 4 cylinder with an output of 150 hp at 4000 rpm with maximum torque of 305nm at 2000 rpm.

Interiors & Comfort - Despite the swooping roofline, there is plenty of headroom in the cabin, but kneeroom rear is tight compared to class leaders. Luggage space is more generous, thanks to the very depth of the shoe, even if you lift something on a high load lip and the rear wheel arch intrusion.

It features a height adjustable driver's seat and steering wheel that moves for both reach and rake to help you at ease. However, Bravo stylish exterior takes its toll on rear visibility, with a small rear screen, a sharp increase in waistline and chunky rear pillars create any blind spots.

Ride & Handling - The Bravo can not match the lightness of the best small family cars because its light steering has an artificial and there is plenty of roll when cornering. To make matters worse, the suspension struggles to cope with imperfections in the road surface, making the nerve pathway.

One of the best aspects of the Bravo is calm. Road noise is well suppressed, and although there is wind noise, it is far from intrusive. Engine noise disappears into the background at a steady cruise.

Security - Bravo very well in Euro NCAP tests, earning the maximum five stars for adult safety and impressive three stars for the safety of children. All models are equipped with six airbags and every model has Isofix child seat mounting points on outer rear seats. Traction control and electronic stability control are optional.

Electronic stability control

noreply@blogger.com (raja) — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 16:23:00 +0000

Electronic stability control (ESC) is a computer technology that improves the security of the stability of a vehicle by detecting and minimizing the skids. When ESC detects loss of steering control, it automatically applies the brakes to help "steer" the vehicle where the driver intends to go. Braking is automatically applied to each wheel as the outside front wheel to counter oversteer or the inside rear wheel to fight against understeer. Some ESC systems also reduce engine power until control is restored. ESC does not improve performance by turning a vehicle on the contrary, it helps to minimize the loss of control. IIHS and NHTSA, one third of fatal accidents could be avoided by technology.

Vehicle manufacturers may use a variety of different trade names for ESC:

1.Tata Nano - 23.65 kmpl

In addition to being the cheapest car in India (and worldwide), theTata Nano is also the most fuel efficient. It gives a mileage of around 23.65 kmpl. The energy efficiency was achieved

with a 2-cylinder, 624 cc rear engine and rear-wheel drive system, and 4-speed manual transmission. The marvel of Tata Motors hasbacked the factor of fuel economy unlike any other.

Car safety, however, is something that we would prefer not to talk about in this section.

2.Maruti Suzuki A-star - 19.6 kmpl

4.Chevrolet Spark - 18.29 kmpl

Although Spark may remind you of Daewoo Matiz in many ways, energy efficiency isan entirely different matter. The Beat relativelyinexpensive and elegant comes with 1 liter 4-cylinder (995 cc)engines and a 5-speed manual transmission.

A pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an electronic system for controlling the air pressure inside the tires on various types of vehicles. The system is also sometimes considered as a system for indicating tire pressure (TPIS). These systems report real-time tire pressure information to the driver of the vehicle, or through a gauge, a display of icons, or a single light pressure warning.

Generally speaking, direct tire-pressure monitoring systems may offer the following features:

Measure (and may display) tire air pressure, with an accuracy able to detect under-inflation conditions of less than 25% of the recommended cold inflation pressure
Measure and display tire air temperature (optional)
Locate tire involved in pressure defect (optional)
React to fast and slow leaks (less than 5 s) for early warning
Do not require initialization or zero button, i.e., self-learning (optional)
Can monitor spare-tire pressure
Can monitor tire pressure when stationary (direct TPMS only)
