The 1965 Ninety-Eight received an all-new bodyshell along with other full-sized Oldsmobiles but retained a larger C-body shared with Cadillac in contrast with the B-body used in the Oldsmobile 88. The Ninety-Eight featured many of the lines found on 88s but with more squared off styling. Also new for 1965 was the Ninety-Eight Luxury Sedan, which featured an even more luxurious interior along with more standard amenities than the regular Ninety-Eight models such as power windows and seats. Most 98 LS’s also had vinyl roofs, which were offered only in black that year. A new three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission with torque converter replaced the original Hydra-Matic used by Olds since its 1940 introduction. Along with the transmission and bodyshell, the engine was also new for 1965. It was a 425 cubic-inch Super Rocket V8 that was more powerful and of a more efficient design than the older 394 cubic-inch V8 previously used, yet it was much lighter in weight. The Ninety-Eight’s standard and only engine offering for 1965 was the four-barrel “Ultra High Compression” version of the 425 Super Rocket rated at 360 horsepower (270 kW).

1969

1969 Ninety-Eight Holiday Coupe

The Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight’s were known for their luxury, style and comfort, and the 1969 models were no exception.

With a 127 inch (10.6 feet) wheelbase, length of 224.4 inches (18.7 feet), width of 80.0 inches (6.7 feet), and height of 54.8 inches (4.5 feet), the Ninety-Eight’s continued to be the largest models produced by Oldsmobile.

New to the Ninety-Eight series this year were a recessed padded instrument panel, anti-theft lock on the steering column, rear view mirror map light, mini-buckles on the seat belts, and deeply padded head restraints.

Standard for the Ninety-Eight’s in 1969 was the 365-HP 455 Rocket V-8 (7.5 liters) which required premium leaded gas; Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 transmission, power steering (vari-ratio), power brakes, power windows, power seat, custom sport seat, foam padded front seat, deluxe steering wheel, self regulating electric clock, and wheel discs (hub caps).

Some of the available options were a tilt-telescope steering wheel, instant horn, four season air conditioning with comfortron, tinted glass windshield, 6 way power seat, divided front seat with dual controls, power trunk release (vacuum), power control (power windows & power locks), power front disc brakes, am-fm stereo radio, rear seat speaker, stereo tape player (8-track), power operated antenna, door edge guards, cruise control, left outside remote control mirror, cornering lamps, anti-spin rear axle, vinyl roof, flo-thru ventilation, and safety sentinel.

Of the Ninety-Eight series, the 1969’s were the only models to have an attached hood extension. After receiving numerous complaints from dealership mechanics about hurting their heads on the extension, Oldsmobile changed the style of the hood in 1970, removing the extension, resulting in a flatter hood design.

Between 1965 and 1975 Oldsmobile commissioned Cotner-Bevington to build professional cars, (ambulances and hearses), using the large Ninety-Eight chassis. Ironically, during the ’60’s (1968), the only Oldsmobile professionally made into a limousine was the smaller Toronado, known as the AQC Jetway 707.

Oldsmobile built its biggest full-size car in 1971 although wheelbase was unchanged from 1970. The 1971 through 1976 Ninety-Eight was very similar to the Oldsmobile 88 (which by now was called the “Delta 88″) except the Ninety-Eight had rear Cadillac-esque tailfins to differentiate between the two full-size models. The standard 455 cubic-inch Rocket V8 was rated at 340 hp (254 kW) and designed to run on lower octane regular lead, low-lead or unleaded gasoline for the first time this year thanks to a General Motors-mandate that all engines be designed to run on such fuels in preparation for the catalytic converter equipped cars of 1975 and later years that absolutely required unleaded gasoline.

Despite this, a few 1975 and 1976 Ninety Eights were released from this catalytic converter requirement in Canada and were given certification along with exemption from requiring unleaded gasoline. V8’s were progressively detuned as production wore on in line with tighter emission standards.

A new bodyshell was introduced this year that would last until the 1976 model year. They were the biggest and heaviest Oldsmobiles ever built, specifically the 1974 to 1976 models when federally mandated 5 mph (8.0 km/h) bumpers were added both front and rear that increased the overall length of the cars by several inches to 232.2 (5898 mm)

Trunk mounted louvers for the flow through ventilation system were only found on 1971 models (as in many other GM models of 1971). The louvers were moved to the door jambs for 1972-1976 models.

The 1974-76 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight (as well as the 74-76 Olds Delta 88, Olds Toronado, Buick LeSabre and Buick Electra Park Avenue) were among the first US production cars to offer an air bag option beginning in 1974. Very few cars were so equipped. The high cost ($700) plus public uncertainty about the yet-to-be proven safety systems that are now universal in today’s automobiles saw quite handily to that.

Ninety Eight Regency

1976 Oldsmobile 98 Regency

For the 1972 model year, the Limited Edition Regency was offered to commemorate Oldsmobile’s 75th anniversary. Each 1972 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency was registered at Tiffany’s and included the specially styled interior with a black or covert “pillow effect” velour upholstery, and power split bench seat, in place of the power bench seat with rear clock. Tiffany touches include the Tiffany Gold paint (an exclusive custom metallic color created especially for this car), the clock has also been specially styled by Tiffany’s and bears a white Oldsmobile emblem above the Tiffany’s name on a golden face. Each 1972 Regency owner received a distinctive sterling silver key ring as a gift, if ever lost the keys could be dropped in a mail box, and Tiffany’s would return them to the owner. A total of 2650 75th anniversary Ninety-Eight Regencys were built, all of them 4 door hardtops. In 1973 the non-anniversary Regency stayed in the line up slotted just above the LS. The Regency package would remain available on the Ninety Eight throughout the 1996 model year when it would become a separate model nameplate.

The 1977 model was extensively redone and downsized, at the same time as the Oldsmobile 88. The new models, at around 4000 pounds, were several hundred pounds lighter than a comparable 1976 model, but were just as roomy inside. The 455 in engine was replaced by the smaller 403 in V8. The Olds 350 was now standard. A diesel version of the 350 was added in 1978. Beginning in 1979, production of the 98 was exclusive to Lansing as Linden Assembly was retooled to build the E-body cars.

1983 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight

The 98 was given a facelift in 1980; it now offered Oldsmobile’s new 307 in V8 along with the diesel, but the 403 was discontinued. Fender skirts, which had disappeared in 1977, returned. The new model had a more-formal roofline to set it apart from the lower-line Delta 88. Gas models now had a 25-gallon fuel tank, diesels had a 27-gallon tank, replacing the 24.5-gallon one.

1980-84 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Coupe

Base LS models were available as sedans only, and the premium Regency model came as either a coupe or a sedan. 1981 saw the introduction of Buick’s 252 in V6 as standard, as well as a new 4-speed THM200-4R automatic transmission. The new Regency Brougham model was introduced for 1982. This car featured plush “Prima” velour seats with embroidered emblems, cut pile carpeting, and electroluminescent opera lamps on the B-pillars. The LS model was discontinued. The 1983 models received a new grille, but were otherwise unchanged. The federal 5 mph (8.0 km/h) impact standard was rolled back for 1984, prompting GM to make major changes to the bumpers to save weight; predictably, this drastically reduced their effectiveness. An 8-track tape player was no longer an option.

Production ended in March 1984. These cars were actually sold concurrently with the new front-wheel drive 1985 model.

The 98 moved from rear-wheel drive to a new front-wheel drive platform for the 1985 model year, with sales beginning in April 1984. For the first year, the Buick 181 in V6 was the standard powerplant. Optional engines were Buick’s 231 and Oldsmobile’s 263 in diesel V6. The 181 V6 was dropped for 1986. For 1987, the car received a new grille with flush headlamps, and the diesel engine was dropped. The performance-oriented Touring Sedan was introduced, but this was the final year for the Ninety-Eight coupe. 1989 saw another grille change and the addition of an optional driver’s-side airbag. Keyless entry was available for 1990. Compared to most cars of a similar vintage, a relatively high number of Ninety Eights of the 1985-1990 generation are still seen on American roads.[citation needed]

This final redesigned generation of the Ninety-Eight would prove to be the shortest, seeing its last year in 1996. This generation was nine inches (229 mm) longer than the previous one; most of this extra space came in the trunk. A higher performance version, the 98 Touring Sedan was available that included the FE3 suspension package, supercharger, 18 gallon tank, and seats designed by Lear Seating.

With the introduction of the Aurora a year earlier, the Ninety-Eight was discontinued for 1996, ending production on May 31. To fill the void, two Eighty-Eight relatives – the Regency and the LSS – were introduced.

Man-machine interface technology in recent years, substantial progress, Wii will be a big step across to the body sensing a more natural, human and machine intelligence, new interface, at the end of the forthcoming Microsoft ProjectNatal more use of 3D image sensing technology in addition to between machine interface, a human-machine interface technology, another major breakthrough.

IPhone's touch technology will be repackaging the old to the new user experience, its success in the market to bring portable devices into touch technology to accelerate and extend to the PC market.

However, since in addition to TabletPC2010 expected to occupy a certain market share, other PC market, only the All-In-OnePC2010 equipped with touch function is estimated to reach 30%, but in the DT, NB, and the penetration rate is still only display there are single digits. Did not find the key incentive is considered an important factor, but the price still has a dominant position, therefore, touch technology industry in addition to working on multi-touch technologies, the more low-cost solution is the primary objective.

Resistance Capacitance Touch technology is mainstream, but the large size of the development towards higher and higher when the costs and technical bottlenecks faced, so other technologies such as CCD optical, electromagnetic still subject to the industry attention, and embedded technology has its advantages .

In large multi-touch technology trend of the mainstream of undecided under, DIG IT IMES held in April 20 a "man-machine interface technology and product development forum", invited solution providers publish and showcase the latest technology to provide system operators a chance to put in place a comprehensive land information.

Will be introduced in Zytronic capacitive touch technology with its advanced control, and stressed the adverse environmental interference from the excellent properties; Jian Yang is using its own brand of embedded optical touch screen, as speech aids, participants to the field with reference to his performance and feelings of large-size touch monitor experience. From the field to bring new technology is the latest eye touch technology, too Han stressed magnetic touch technology has a price advantage in large size.

Addition, DIGITIMESResearch analysts were on the Tablet and All-In-OnePC into touch technology, trends, and the meaning and impact of Microsoft ProjectNatal for comprehensive in-depth analysis. The entire forum for human-machine interface for a broad and deep discussion. The following is a summary of the essence of the Forum.

Zytronic Sales & Marketing Vice President IanCrosby pointed out that the touch screen to create the best solution, not just the choice of touch sensing technology only, in fact, touch screen controller is integrated part of the system, but also whether the device touch screen information and the correct interpretation of the connection to the appropriate format for PC, the performance of the key.

Zytronic PCT patented technology developed touch sensor controller is composed of very fine copper capacitor array, only 10 microns in diameter, with XY grid embedded in a thin substrate.

analysis of large multi-touch technology market has been on posters get the feeling not to eat the main reason the touch technology is not essential for most users, there is no necessity, so manufacturers must be able to cost-down, low to no touch screen and more than not much, then consumers will be willing to took out a little more spread, go back and try to buy new features.

The embedded optical touch technology as the sensing element will be done in the panel manufacturing process TFTArray substrate, as long as the panel can yield enhancement to yield similar, the cost can be lowered, while Yang had to yield the sword improve, thus providing low-cost large-size multi-touch technology on the price advantage will be able to touch into the consumer market.

The Best Answer to Halt the Aging Process

Man

Fiorucci

Early years

Elio Fiorucci was born in Milan on 10 June 1935, son of a shoe shop owner. One day in 1962, Elio came up with the idea of making galoshes in bright primary colours whilst working at his father’s shop. When they were featured in a local weekly fashion magazine, the galoshes caused a sensation. Following a trip to London in 1965, Elio was determined to bring Carnaby Street fashions to Milan. He opened his first shop on Galleria Passerella in Milan on 31 May 1967 selling clothes by London designers such as Ossie Clark and Zandra Rhodes.

In 1968 Fiorucci looked East for inspiration, buying cheap T-shirts from India, and turning rice sacks into bags. Two years later the company set up its own manufacturing plant, and adopted the “two angels” logo created by Italo Lupi. In 1974 the company opened a huge new store on Via Torino in Milan, expanding beyond fashion to offer books, furniture and music. The new shop also had a performance area, vintage clothing market, and restaurant, and was financed by an investment from the Standa department stores, part of the Montedison group. Meanwhile the label introduced the monokini and thong from Brazil, causing controversy with the topless photos used to advertise them. Glass beads from New Mexico were another hit. In 1975 the company opened its first store overseas, on the Kings Road in London, and launched a children’s collection called Fioruccino. It brought Afghan coats to the mass market, and popularised the leopard-skin prints first created by Elsa Schiaparelli two decades before.

Heyday

The 1976 opening of the store next to Bloomingdale’s, on East 59th Street in New York, introduced the brand to American trendsetters during the disco age. Customers such as Marc Jacobs Cher and Terence Conran would rub shoulders with Jackie Onassis and Lauren Bacall, you might see drag queen Joey Arias serving the King of Spain, or Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt buying some jeans. In the early 1980s the Fiorucci art director was jewelry designer Maripol, known for creating Madonna’s look at the time. Other employees included Madonna’s brother Christopher Ciccone, Terry Jones of i-D magazine fame and Oliviero Toscani who shot many of the famous Benetton adverts. and famed interior designer Jim Walrod

In May 1979 cartoon/graffiti based artist Kenny Scharf has first solo exhibition in the New York Fiorucci, the show was called “Fiorucci Celebrates the New Wave” and featured his colorful, retro-futuristic “Estelle Series.” The opening included a performance with Klaus Nomi, the new wave / opera singer.

Meanwhile, the company continued to bring new products to market, including a collection made from DuPont’s new Tyvek fabric, and velvet slippers from China. In 1978 they were the first fashion house to license their name for a collection of sunglasses, whilst in 1981 a Disney licence led to a highly successful range of clothes emlblazoned with Mickey Mouse. Ever on the pulse of the times, Fiorucci sponsored the reunion of Simon and Garfunkel in The Concert in Central Park on 19 September 1981, attended by 400,000 people or more, and on the bill for their birthday party in 1983 was a then-unknown Madonna. In 1982 the company launched the first stretch jeans with Lycra, and the success of the 5-pocket “Safety” jeans was recognised three years later in a licensing deal with Wrangler Jeans. In 1987 Fiorucci produced the Junior Gaultier line designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, and in 1989 they went back to their roots with a deal with Vivienne Westwood, queen of the London street scene.

The company expanded rapidly after 1978, launching new stores across the US, Europe and Asia. In 1981 Benetton bought Montedison’s 50% stake in Fiorucci, which was reduced to 33.3% in 1986 when Elio Fiorucci brought in Iranian businessman Massimo Aki Nuhi (Akinouhi) as a third partner via his holding company Aknofin. Benetton sold their remaining stake to Fiorucci and Aki Nuhi in August 1987. Despite thriving sales, the company was dogged by poor management and had had to close the New York store in 1984; Betsey Johnson has suggested “Fiorucci was the most happening place. It never stopped being happening it just left New York City, because I don’t think New York City was happening enough by the mid-80’s”. Fiorucci closed down the rest of the US retail locations in 1988 after a franchise dispute, moving instead to a wholesale strategy. The company went into administration in April 1989 following a dispute over the strategic direction of the firm that had seen Elio offer to buy out Aki Nuhi.

Revival

The company was rescued by the Tacchella brothers of Italian jeans company Carrera S.p.A., who sold on the company to Japanese jeans group Edwin Co., Ltd for 45bn lire (~US$41m). In January 1996 after a plea bargain, Elio Fiorucci was given a suspended jail sentence of 22 months for inflating the value of invoices to increase the value of the company to Carrera at the expense of his creditors. Luciano Benetton was cleared of similar charges, on the grounds that he had not been involved at an operational level during his time (September 1985 – September 1987) on the board of Fiorucci.

Originally Edwin planned to launch five stores in key cities like London, but although they signed an initial deal on 4 June 1990 that was ratified that October, Edwin did not gain control of the Fiorucci assets until May 1992. In fact they would later lose the rights to the Fiorucci name in Canada on the grounds of disuse. However, one of Edwin’s first acts was a deal with Coles Myer that would see 68 Fiorucci concessions in stores across Australia. They opened a new store in Piazza San Babila, Milan in early 1993, that included a variety of branded boutiques. It took them longer to get things going in North America, after a 1993 deal with Mary Ann Wheaton of Wheaton International fell through. In 1995 they licensed the rights for eyewear in the US to Swan International Optical, and then opened a US office in September 1997. However, the strategy of their licensee, Stephen Budd, to sell the brand into US department stores didn’t work out so in 1999 they announced a plan to open a New York store once again. The initial plan was to open in time for Christmas 1999, but the store on lower Broadway finally opened its doors in June 2001. Commentators such as Kim Hastreiter were sceptical that it could recapture the buzz of times past, given the increased competition in mass-market clubbing gear from the likes of H&M and The Limited.

Meanwhile the brand continued to thrive in Europe, and regained some of its former notoriety in 1995 with a poster campaign for its jeans featuring a naked woman’s buttocks and pink furry handcuffs, which became instant bestsellers. In 1999 it launched a successful perfume, followed by a second, Fiorucci Loves You, in 2001, and “Miss Fiorucci” makeup in 2003. Edwin have been aggressively expanding the brand throughout Asia, from Seoul to Tokyo and China.

Although Elio Fiorucci retained creative control during the Edwin era, they are protective of the Fiorucci trademarks, and have taken legal action against H&M in the US when Elio designed their Poolside line. He has also set up a brand of his own called Love Therapy, and designed for Agent Provocateur.

In March 2003, Elio Fiorucci announced that after 36 years, he was closing the doors to his historic shop in Corso Vittorio Emmanuele, Milan. When Fiorucci hit the scene nearly 40 years ago, he blew Italy – and the rest of the world – away with a larger-than-life attitude. He brought in the new and unexpected, pre-dating the surge of today’s “lifestyle” stores. Fiorucci mixed clothing with beauty products, vintage items, music and home furnishings. He even used his retail space for artistic performances. Elio said the reason he was closing his shop was because he had “fallen out of love” with fashion.

Ceramic decorative coloring agents and printing techniques

I. Ceramics Decorative coloring agent used mainly inorganic oxides, such as:

  White?? Magnesium oxide, magnesium carbonate, Alumina , Calcium borate, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, arsenate, antimony oxide, cerium compounds and metal silver.

Gray?? Platinum, iridium, rhodium, palladium, ruthenium, osmium, soluble salts, antimony trioxide dust and iridium, etc..

Ink?? Iron oxide , Chromium, cobalt, manganese, Nickel And so the mixture, pyrolusite, iridium oxide, etc..

Yellow?? Dioxide, Rutile , Tin barium, chromium acid, lead chromate, cadmium sulfide, sulfide gold, gold and other metals.

Orange?? Rutile, iron titanate, basic lead chromate, chromite, uranium yellow and cadmium sulfide, etc..

Two methods of ceramic decoration Mud colored ceramic decoration can use blanks, Glaze Color, glaze color and glaze color in several ways. Coloring agent is divided into:

Blank mud stain: The Pigment Mixed compound fired at the bad shape. Which requires the coloring agent for making billet handle the work can not be any reaction;

Enamel coloring agent: dry blanks for decoration, unglazed white porcelain blanks or after firing, the glaze in its health facilities to conduct the glaze firing. Required in the normal and the glaze firing temperature may not react at the same time not flow or patterns fuzzy;

Glaze colorants: products used to decorate the surface of the glaze after firing decoration, requires relatively low firing temperature (700 ~ 900 ) can be securely attached under the glaze on, can not penetrate the glaze and flow.

3, the raw material of ceramic glaze

Enamel raw materials include alkaline, acidic and neutral three kinds of components. Basic components of flux, such as alkali metals, alkaline earth metal, zinc oxide, and most of the coloring oxides or chromophore; neutral components of gender oxide, the main body of alumina, iron oxide and manganese oxide sometimes, also out into the components; acid composition of representative oxide, silica, phosphate, zirconia, fluoride caries panic Ci Guo Mountain snipe? Huan love Nao role, Mang? know anger fishy peptone evil ape species threaten school??? coin book more than the brother line turns wholesale? White Male disaster province? / P>

4, the purpose of ceramic glazing

1) make green bodies of liquid and gas permeability has not

2) Body surface covered by defects, the role played cover; improve product surface smoothness to the surface of various Finishing Also can increase the strength and beauty utensils.

3) to prevent the green body staining, glazing, even if contamination is also easy to wash.

4) and play a role in green body, glaze and mold and make a whole.

5, indirect ceramic decoration technology Indirect ceramic decoration technology into ceramic glaze ceramic underglaze decals decals and the two processes.

6, the indirect method ( Print Law) Make Ceramic Decal method

Ceramic Decal printing production methods are three kinds, namely, hand-carved Copper Ceramic Decal gravure gravure, offset and large film decal Screen Printing Thin film decal.

7, ceramic green body composed of raw materials

Main materials used in ceramics Feldspar , Quartz, Kaolin And so on.

8, ceramic glaze decal decal process is divided into categories according to

Ceramic glaze floral decal affixed by different transfer decals can be divided into paper and film decal transfer two types of flowers.

Textile processing

Pretreatment of cellulose fabric

1) Singeing is the process of removing the pills and protruding fibers of the fabric coming from weaving. This operation may either be done as the beginning of process or as an end of finishing operation.

2) Desizing is the second operation after singeing. Desizing of fabric is essential to remove the sizing materials added during warping to strengthen the warp yarns. This size if present during subsequent processing will affect the quality of look and finish. There are many ways to remove the size from the fabric. A few methods are as below.

a) Acid Desizing – this is an old process of destroying the starch and other size materials

in th presence of acid at elevated temperatures.

b) Oxidative desizing method – desizing with the help of an oxidizing agent such

as Hydrogen peroxide.

c) Enzymatic desizing method – this is a bio degradation method that destroys starch

and other sizing materials in to soluble form that will be washed off during subsequent

washes.

3) Bleaching Process: Bleaching is a process to make the fabric or yarn look brighter

and whiter. This is achieved by oxidizing or reducing the coloring matters in to colorless

form.

Mostly widely used textile bleaching method is Hydrogen Peroxide bleaching. This is carried out in an alkaline bath at about 80 to 85C at a pH of 11.

Dyeing Process

Dyeing Process is yet another sub branch of processing with so many complicate process. According to the application technique and the type of dyestuff used the process of dyeing is categorized.

Direct Dyeing is a process of applying coloring matter directly on fiber without any

additive. This is a simple process but the fastness parameters of the dyed material is very

poor. So direct dyestuff application is reduced to very minimum and applied to materials

where the finished goods do not go for post washings during usage. Example – Floor

Mat, Foot mat, etc.

Naphthol dyes are a group of dyestuff used to create fast and bright shades on cotton

fibers. But the application process is a very complicated one. However due to its cheapness

in producing dark and bright shades, these dyestuffs are still used in the market wherever

dark but cheap shades are required.

Vat dyes are a class of dye stuff applied from small vats or troughs. This class of

dye stuff yields very fast colors to washing, light and rubbing. Mostly used for producing

dull but all difficult shades where fastness is the prime requirement. Example – Suiting,

Stripped shirting, awning materials and military clothing.

Reactive dyestuffs are the bight and fast shade producing dyestuffs. The application

is also very simple and a lot of research and development is going on in this class.

But the pollution load created due to this dyeing is very harmful to all water sources.

Finishing

Finishing is the final process to impart the required end use finishes to the fabric.

For example, crease resistant finish is imparted to make the fabric wrinkle free, fire

proof finish is for fire resistance, anti microbial finish for odor and micro organism

resist finished and so on.

5) Printing is a science as well as an art. In those days the printing was made using so

many wooden dyes and wax printing. But now the science and technology has developed so

that via digital printing any photograph can be printed straightaway on the fabric.

Depth profile TIGUAN way four

By the end of March, Shanghai Volkswagen's new car market outlook TIGUAN way, causing the market attention. Many of the industry to the city as is currently the SUV market, a new benchmarking model, because it in many ways are far ahead of other cities SUV's. Is precisely because of this near-luxury SUV concept way the product characteristics, combined with a more approachable than the price of luxury SUV, the ultimate reflection of high cost performance, so many consumers favor for me. Then the concept is the way how to do it for? From the beginning of this article, we will analyze every detail view of the competitive advantage of way, this focuses on the key to urban SUV – AWD system. A performance superior four-wheel drive system will make off-road and SUV vehicles perform better on handling, so that occupants are most vividly feel the unique charm of SUV models.

Currently on the market of 20-30 million urban SUV AWD Technology Briefing

The so-called "do not know what's not afraid, afraid of confinement." To understand the concept of four-wheel drive technology TIGUAN way, we start to understand some of the current domestic market price in the city between 20-30 million SUV four-wheel drive technology used.

Whether Outlander, kore proud Copaci, guides who, Andhra and other imported cars, or other joint venture vehicles, four-wheel drive version in the models, without exception, is the timely use of conventional four-wheel drive system. Under these four-wheel drive in normal mode still only precursor, only a slip towards the front when the power will be allocated to the rear axle. This four-wheel drive two problems. The first is the only critical point in the front wheel skid, the rear wheels will be involved, the effect still have some lag. Particularly when driving in slippery road, the rear because "subsequent involvement," features, to enhance vehicle traction for the effect is very limited. The second characteristic is that even in the most extreme cases, the rear axle can not be assigned more than 50% power. So they take the initiative in terms of safety and control, and the use of full-time four-wheel drive models can not be compared.

The reason why a large extent, the origin of these models . These models, the core technology came from the Japanese or Korean system vendor, even flying in Europe and the U.S. brand of car brands as well. For example Leinuokelei proud technology all from Nissan odd Jun, Opel platform technology and Copaci Andhra Like Jeep guide who is based on the Lancer Mitsubishi platform based development, technology and the Outlander line, and Daewoo driven by the development of snow , also showed the same characteristics. Worldwide, not only geographical differences exist models, there are also regional differences in technology. Understanding of these Japanese and Korean manufacturers, the city's four-wheel drive SUV can achieve this level of technology already very good, and typically reflects the regional car manufacturers, "just enough" of the repairer idea.

4MOTION four-wheel drive concept purposes and used for more than four-wheel drive models are essentially different

As the domestic market of 20-30 million a truly unique range of high-end urban SUV, passers-by view of the four-wheel drive system technology also showed the German manufacturers to pursue technical and performance characteristics.

Way concept is used Volkswagen Group's most advanced full-time 4MOTION intelligent four-wheel drive system, the most sophisticated four-wheel drive the core of this is that it carry a fourth-generation Haldex electro-hydraulic torque Manager. Perhaps you feel about this technology some unfamiliar proper nouns, then we take a look at what models have adopted this four-wheel drive technology. The first is the public's high-end models, such as have been introduced to the domestic mass R36, Audi TT Quattro version, and not yet introduced to the domestic high-performance Audi A3 Quattro version, etc., are used in this AWD system. Other than the SUV models in the mass, the Volvo has been imported to domestic XC60, Volvo S80 4.4 V8 Executive Edition, Land Rover Freelander 2 and have not yet imported into the country such as the Volvo XC70 models are used is the electro-hydraulic Haldex torque Manager. Listed above to see these models of market orientation and performance, I believe we view on the way the status of four-wheel drive and has a perceptual advantage.

So from a rational point of view, four-wheel drive concept way ahead in the end and articles listed in those urban SUV AWD different? First of all, this new 4MOTION four-wheel Can-Bus bus by the general control, no additional sensor systems, so it is a higher degree of control technology, better. From the actual performance, this four-wheel drive system is under normal four-wheel drive, rear wheel drive can get a constant, so it belongs to the scope of full-time four-wheel drive, and other urban SUV with four-wheel drive used in a timely manner essentially different. This feature of the benefits are clear, slippery roads, in turn, in the gravel road, according to this four-wheel drive four-wheel drive access to timely and much higher than those of adhesion, not only safer, more controlled power, but also to enhance the capacity of these roads on.

Passers-by four-wheel drive is another advantage of view, the rear axle concept in theory way get 100% of the driving force, it is timely four-wheel drive is absolutely impossible. Understand the performance characteristics of the people who drive cars should be very clear that this feature will greatly turn on the vehicle's limits, especially for the tap precursor platform-specific models of understeer characteristics, will have a nature of the improvement and upgrade. Many people view driving pedestrians will feel the cornering ability and price range of the SUV almost 500,000 yuan, far better than all the SUV range of 20-30 million cars, four-wheel drive system is the core of one of the reasons of different nature – – In addition to passers-by view, all equipped with such a four-wheel drive models, all priced at 50 yuan, passers-by view of the performance of "stand out", it is not surprising.

From the above analysis we can see passers-by view of the four-wheel drive system, and the other 20-30 million range used by the city four-wheel drive SUV is essentially different, it is not only a higher technological content, but also has significant performance advantage, so it is more used in some high-priced models. Chu Le-wheel-drive, passers-by view of the other techniques used by the body or equipment are You many only in high-end models, it is these Cu Chengle way view of the high cost, subject to market approval.
