Technology Decoded: Electric Power Steering (EPS)
EPS is surely the future of all power steering systems. In this mechanism, the electric power is used to assist the manual steering so that steering wheel torque is reduced to appropriate levels. The
Technology Decoded: Hydraulic Power Steering
Power steering reduces a significant amount of strain that is required by the driver while negotiating sharp curves. It makes it easy to turn at sharp corners. Manual steering systems are used as a ba
Technical Aspects: Oil Pump & Types
Oil pump supplies oil under pressure to all moving parts of the engine in order to provide lubrication. Oil also plays an important role in dissipating the heat away from the internal components of th
Technical Aspects: Crankcase Ventilation
Crankcase ventilation is almost provided in all automotive engines. Its prime job is to prevent the dilution of lubricating oil present in crankcase which may lead to corrosion of crankcase metals if
Technical Aspects: Splash Lubrication System
Splash lubrication is a kind of wet sump lubrication. It is commonly used to lubricate the various components of engine. It is a simplest method of lubrication.
Technical Aspects: Wet Sump Lubrication
In this type of lubrication system, oil is stored in a oil sump instead of a separate oil tank as in dry sump system. Due to its simple setup and low manufacturing cost, it is used in most automotive

Technical Aspects: Dry Sump Lubrication
Dry sump lubrication systems are commonly used with high performance production cars like Audi A8, Corvette ZR1 and Porsche 911. The main purpose of the dry sump system is to contain all the stored oi
Technical Aspects: Petroil/ Mist Lubrication
The lubricant’s job is to decrease the friction by preventing the direct contact of moving surfaces. A lubricant must have properties of adhesion and cohesion. A good lubricant adheres to the surface.
Technology Decoded: Driverless / Autonomous Car
As the name suggest, there is no need of any kind of manual input from driver in order to propel this vehicle. Autonomous car needs to have a sharp focus on what is going on around it and at the same
Technology Decoded: Steering Gear & Types
Steering gear box not only steers the front wheels, but also play an important role in reducing the effort which goes into steering the steering wheel by an equivalent increment in the output torque.
Technology Decoded: Steering System
Steering system converts the rotary motion of steering wheel into an angular turn of the front wheels by multiplying the driver’s effort. In simple words,it helps in swinging the wheels to the left or
Technology Decoded: Electric Vehicles (EV)
It is a pure battery based car concept which uses only battery to supply vital electrical energy to an electric motor which further moves vehicle on the road. EVs operate very smoothly and quietly as
Technology Decoded: Regenerative Braking
Whenever a driver applies the brake of a vehicle, it slows down or stops and the kinetic energy gets wasted due to friction. Regenerative braking concept helps to recover as much vehicle’s kinetic ene
Technology Decoded: Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV)
To be a hybrid, the vehicle must have at least two modes of propulsion, like diesel/electric or gasoline/electric or fuel cell/battery etc. Success or failure of a hybrid vehicle is based on how well
5 things to know about new age engine oil
