Great

Constant velocity transmission

FP.....ayav learnt new stuff..i bin just dey drive, I no sabi anytin.

diportivo:
Constant velocity transmission

CVT Continuously variable transmission. Don't know where Op got that from o

small time person go dey start to see threads like *fundamental laws of physics*

Seen

Op, thanks for this but who this elp? Raji that drove bus from Lagos to Ilorin for the past 20yrs knows nothing about this and he doesn't need to know it.

As long as motor dey move...

F the 45

APC _ applied Padded Contact

Nice

IBA
Intelligent Brake Assist.


BSM

Blind spot monitor

O/D

Over Drive



TPMS

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Engineering students dey try o.
But OP; Why RWD, FWD, LED, RPM, kW, LPG and most especially A/C dey the list. Kilode, we sef go school small na.

helphelp:
As long as motor dey move...

F the 45

tell me how motor go last 6 months for ur hand

I don't need to know all these, too technically!
What z left for d engineer/professional to know if I may ask.

Very Good, I have learnt something new today

I know all of it

Very i informative though a lot are well known.

nice info....

ABS...Automatic Brake System

Nice one autojosh

.....what about VHS?

bigtiny10:

Some people no know am na na becos u dey science class abi

Op, what of PH and GH

OP one chilled bear for you.

Nice one

and finally, MMM (Mavrodi Match Mugus)

Aquariann:


CVT Continuously variable transmission. Don't know where Op got that from o

A continuously variable transmission is a single gear transmission which maintains the same velocity constant with the amount of pressure exerted on the accelerator.
