6. Automotive Technology
Introduction
Automotive Technology is related to the technology that has evolved and developed through out the history of automobile industry to help manufacturers, designers and engineers to produce vehicles that can fulfill their design purposes.
# Initially, the purpose of a car is to move people and things:
- no concern on safety, comfort and environment
# Changing focus: to move the car faster and safer
- time, speed, safety,
# Introduction of electronics: better control, comfort and environment friendly
- integration of many system through electronics control.
- 80% of today’s car is controlled by electronics
- easy control, in cabin entertainment, zero emission vehicles 6

Short exercise
What is ABS?
ABS: Antilock Brake System (or Anti-locking Brake System) - enables you to steer whilst keeping the brake pedal full on. Can be felt as a vibration through the pedal when it cuts in. Also useful in stopping in a straight line if one side is on slippery stuff and the other on grippy stuff (non-ABS will tend to spin).
What is EBD?
EBD: Electronic Brake Distribution (or Electronic Brake-force Distributor) - alters how much brake force goes to the front and how much to the rear. Cars always have more braking on front. If the rears lock before the front then the car will spin.
How much braking with the rears depends on how much weight is in the vehicle. EBD dynamically adjusts this balance. Without it, the manufacturer sets up the balance so the rears do not lock when the vehicle is empty which is less braking than is possible when the vehicle is full. 8

Short exercise
What is EPS?
EPS: Electronic Power Steering - enables the amount of assistance with steering to be varied depending on speed and how much you turn the wheel. This means it can give lots of boost when parking the car whilst still giving you a good feel for the road at speed.
What is ESP
ESP: Electronic Stability Program - senses when the car is about to go out of control and can apply an individual brake to a wheel to help avoid the spin. Will not totally prevent the spin but means that it takes more to lose control. Often also used to give traction control where brakes may be applied if a wheel begins to spin due to too much power for the grip. 9

10. Introduction of Engine
Engine = piece of machine that produces mechanical power.
Engines can be classified in many different ways: By the engine cycle used, the layout of the engine, source of energy, the use of the engine, or by the cooling system employed.
The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move. Currently the easiest way to create motion from gasoline is to burn the gasoline inside an engine. Therefore, a car engine is an internal combustion engine - combustion takes place internally. 10

11. Introduction of Engine
There is such a thing called an external combustion engine. A steam engine in old-fashioned trains and steam boats is the best example of an external combustion engine. The fuel (coal, wood, oil, whatever) in a steam engine burns outside the engine to create steam, and the steam creates motion inside the engine.
Internal combustion is a lot more efficient (takes less fuel per mile) than external combustion, plus an internal combustion engine is a lot smaller than an equivalent external combustion engine. This explains why we do not see any cars from many manufacturers using steam engines. 11

12. History of Engine 1673 - engine concept developed by Huygen, Holland.
steam engine discovered by Watt, Britain.
1769 -the first road vehicle invented by French engineer and mechanic, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot
1876 – four stroke engine cycle developed by August Otto, Holland
1876 – two-stroke engine invented by Sir Dougald Clerk, Britain
1885 – gasoline engine was first built by Gottlieb Daimler, Holland. He built a two-wheeled vehicle the "Reitwagen" (Riding Carriage) and a year later built the world's first four-wheeled motor vehicle.
On January 29, Karl Benz received the first patent (DRP No ) for a gas-fueled car.
Daimler built an improved four-stroke engine with mushroom-shaped valves and two V-slant cylinders.
Wilhelm Maybach built the first four-cylinder, four-stroke engine.
1895 – diesel engine was discovered by R. Diesel, Britain
1908 – mass production of vehicle engine by Ford, America. 12

Car History
First road vehicle was a military tractor by Nicolas J.Cugnot
First car by Daimler
Cugnot used a steam engine to power his vehicle, built under his instructions at the Paris Arsenal by mechanic Brezin. It was used by the French Army to haul artillery at a whopping speed of 2 1/2 mph on only three wheels. The vehicle had to stop every ten to fifteen minutes to build up steam power. The steam engine and boiler were separate from the rest of the vehicle and placed in the front (see engraving above)

16. Automotive Design Style sells cars
Cars are designed to accommodate mechanical parts, to reduce wind resistance and save fuel, to carry passengers and cargo, to please consumers’ eyes and egos, and, above all, to increase sales and make money.’

19. CamPro = Cam Profiling. What is the engine used by Proton?
What is the engine that powers the Proton Gen-2, Proton Satria Neo, Proton Waja, Proton Persona, Proton Saga and Proton Exora?
CamPro engine = first automotive engine developed together with Lotus by the Malaysian carmaker, Proton.
CamPro = Cam Profiling.

20. Why built engine? Proton's ability to make its own engines that produce good power output and meet newer emission standards.
The engine prototype was first unveiled on 6 October 2000 at the Lotus factory in UK before it debuted in the 2004 Proton Gen•2
