Lightweighting is a concept in the auto industry about building cars and trucks that are less heavy as a way to achieve better fuel efficiency, battery range, acceleration, braking and handling. [1] [2] In addition, lighter vehicles can tow and haul larger loads because the engine is not carrying unnecessary weight. [3]
However, it is the power a car can produce at the wheels (wheel horsepower or whp) that matters when it comes to acceleration performance. Wheel horsepower equals brake horsepower minus drivetrain losses, which can be anywhere from about 10% to 25%. [12] Power-to-weight ratio: hp/lb hp/lb W/kg acceleration higher is better Propulsive efficiency
Continuing the numerical weight loss trend of the 90-30-50 diet, TikTok has also given us the 12-3-30 treadmill challenge. While Today notes that it originally went viral in 2020, the 12-3-30 ...
Power-to-weight ratios for vehicles are usually calculated using curb weight (for cars) or wet weight (for motorcycles), that is, excluding weight of the driver and any cargo. This could be slightly misleading, especially with regard to motorcycles, where the driver might weigh 1/3 to 1/2 as much as the vehicle itself.
Federal regulations define a light-duty truck to be any motor vehicle having a gross vehicle weight rating (curb weight plus payload) of no more than 8,500 pounds (3,860 kg) which is “(1) Designed primarily for purposes of transportation of property or is a derivation of such a vehicle, or (2) Designed primarily for transportation of persons and has a capacity of more than 12 persons, or (3 ...

[12] [14] From the engine's beginning to November 2012, 500,000 Ford EcoBoost vehicles have been sold. [ 15 ] During Ford's ownership of Volvo (until 2010), it used the term PTDi (petrol turbocharged direct injection) for the 1.6 L I4 engine when introducing Volvo S60 concept [ 16 ] and for the 2.0 L I4 engine when introducing Volvo XC60.
