e: S Technology: High Efficiency Technology from Daihatsu

Daihatsu is developing high-tech fuel efficiency (high fuel efficiency technology) for its future cars.

The technology is called "e: S Technology" or the Energy Saving Technology. In the process of development, Daihatsu dismantle existing technologies including all aspects of the engine, transmission, and the car body structure, so that more efficient fuel consumption 40%.

The results of this development is ready to be immersed for the first time into a single new car, which was launched September 2011. Automobile gasoline consumption will reach 30 km / liter. Car prices from 800.000 yen or USD 86 million.

The main features of e: S Evolution of Powertrain Technology (circuit power source) by introducing a new engine to maximize combustion efficiency and minimize energy loss and high efficiency CVT transmission.

Evolve Daihatsu Vehicle (Vehicle Evolution), as well. Daihatsu some way taken by the body more aerodynamic design to reduce vehicle weight of approximately 60 kg and cut constraints (wind, scroll tires). Then, Daihatsu adopts thermal management in the engine room.

The next step in Energy Management for example applying the Eco-Idle system with pre-stop reduction function idle (car braked and turned off the engine when running under 7 kph).
 

Bridgestone Tire Safety Campaign 2011 Degrees

Tires is one important factor in driving safety. Shortage of air pressure in tires can be fatal when driving.

Research shows that motorists with four or more wheels, put the issue on the feasibility of tire life comes second after the brake function, but only a third of all users of four or more wheeled vehicles are regularly checked in right at the air pressure in tires.

Check the air pressure according to standards of each vehicle as well as developmental or physical check the tire tread is one of the most important and easy to do in taking care of the tires.

Safety features such as what is your ideal?
In general, today's cars already have a number of safety features like ABS Braking, airbags and electronic stability control. Well, these features became standard for driver safety. More audio luxurious and expensive accessories are additional features. Not useful for our protection from accidents.

And what an ideal car?
It is recommended to choose a car All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) is offered as Subaru. And choose a car according to our needs. For example, if our day-to-day in large cities, the big-engined cars is not the right choice.


What is the function of AWD?
Motion system with four-wheel-then four tires grip better and complete the safety features of cars owned.

What to watch on a car tire?
Ensure proper tire pressure (no less or more). Perform balancing (balancing) tires regularly. Less air pressure or excessive, will cause the car is not balanced / stable while driving. Buy the best quality tires. Remember the safety features and tire grip is very dependent on the quality of the tire.

There are other tips about safe driving?

And you also have to pass the limit sign or marker. If you pass the marker before you finish counting 2 seconds then you are driving a distance too close to the car in front of you. In case of rain or mengendarakan large vehicles, we use a count of 4 seconds (1.2.3.4.), Because the car needs more time to stop.

And if we know there is a potential danger or accident situations, always trying to quickly find loopholes in order to avoid accidents. Do not ever focused on vehicles that disturb and threaten our car.

There's the last thing to say?
Enjoy it while driving. The car is something beautiful and give us freedom, but we realize it or not, the car can also have external power (potential) to harm us.
 

Note the tire wear

Do not underestimate the tires are worn. The use of worn tires, in addition to endangering the safety of ourselves in the drive to endanger others. because the tires are worn to less than perfect braking and slippery when wet so the distance by road braking becomes more distant.

To avoid these undesirable things, then perhaps you should consider keausannya level.

As the tire wear indicator, check the depth of flow of the tires and noticed scratches on the side of the tire sidewalls are marked with a sort of lump TWI (Thread Wear Indicator) or the sign of Δ (triangle). If the surface is flat tire indicator, the tire marks had to be replaced.

Note also that there is damage to the tire, like a tear or cracks on the side of the tire. Small tear can make the tire easy to erupt.

Improper air pressure can also make the tires wear out, but not evenly. Wear and tear in the middle caused by wind pressure is too high because of the use of the center of the tread is excessive. Instead the pressure is too low resulting in wear and tear on both sides of the tire shoulder.
 

Car Tire Rotation Tips

In addition to treatment, rotate all four tires are a wise step to maintain durability. What and how tire rotation? Here's an explanation ...

Anything as good as if not rotated the tires will be faster performance decrease. Or at least, the tires on the axle - front and rear - are not functioning optimally. Uneven wear becomes the most logical thing whack. And predictably, the shorter the life of the tire.

"The rotation of the tires it is necessary, especially when it reaches kilomter 7500 to 10,000 kilometers. The goal for the keausannya evenly. However, tire rotation also do many things, "said Singgih Aji Wibowo, Senior Research & Development Manager PT Gajah Tunggal - GT Radial tire manufacturer.

According to the existing 2 Singgih tire rotation system. The first rotation using all four wheels. Second, the system is performed on all five tires, including spare.

4 TIRE ROTATION

The first system can be done by or diagonal line. For the diagonal way, to note the direction of replacement. In this system you need to do is swap the left front wheel to the right rear and right front tire with the left rear tire.

Further replacement of the system in line, in which the right front wheel in exchange move with the left front wheel. While the right rear tire to the rear left tire.

5 TIRE ROTATION

While the system is the way to the fifth tire is relatively similar to the way the diagonal. Spare tire mounted on the left rear, left rear tire then moved to the left front. Crosses the left front tire was moved to the right rear and right rear to right to move forward. And finally the front tire kananlah the spare tire.

Whatever system you apply, it is clear how to extend tire life and maximize function.
