"Automotive engineering, along with aerospace engineering and naval architecture, is a branch of vehicle engineering..."
Exploring the different components that make up a car such as the engine, transmission, suspension system, brakes, steering wheel, wheels, tires, etc.
Engine: A device that converts fuel into mechanical energy to power the car.
Transmission: A system that transmits power from the engine to the wheels.
Suspension: A system of tires, springs, and shock absorbers that provides a smooth ride and handles the road.
Brakes: A system of discs, calipers, and pads that stop the car when the driver applies the brake pedal.
Steering: A system of gears, links, and joints that allows the driver to control the direction of the vehicle.
Exhaust: A system of pipes and mufflers that releases the gasses produced by the engine.
Wheels and Tires: The wheels provide the base for the tires that provide traction and cushioning to the car.
Battery: A device that supplies electrical power to the car’s electrical system.
Alternator: A device that recharges the battery and provides power to the car’s electrical system.
Fuel System: A system of hoses, tanks, and pumps that delivers fuel to the engine.
Cooling System: A system of hoses, radiators, and fans that keep the engine cool.
Ignition System: A system of spark plugs, wires, and coils that ignite the fuel in the engine.
Sensors and Electronics: A system of computerized devices that monitors and controls various functions of the car.
Body and Interior: The outer shell and interior of the car that protects the passengers and provides comfort.
Safety Features: Devices designed to protect passengers during accidents, such as airbags and seat belts.
Maintenance: Regular upkeep and servicing of the car to ensure its longevity and safety.
Engine: The main component that is responsible for generating power and movement to the car.
Transmission: A component that transfers the power produced by the engine to the wheels.
Battery: A rechargeable power source that provides electricity to start the engine and power the electrical components.
Alternator: A device that recharges the battery and provides electrical power to the car's electrical systems while the engine is running.
Fuel system: A component that manages the gasoline, diesel or electric "fuel" that powers the engine.
Brakes: A system that enables you to stop or reduce the car's speed by converting kinetic energy into heat through friction.
Suspension: A system that keeps the wheels in contact with the ground and provides a more comfortable ride.
Exhaust system: A component that expels the burned gases from the engine out to the atmosphere.
Cooling system: A component that keeps the engine from overheating.
Ignition system: A component that initiates the engine's combustion process.
Drive shafts: A shaft that connects the transmission to the rear or front wheels.
Steering system: A component that allows the driver to guide the direction of the car's movement.
Wheels: A critical car component that facilitates movement by making ground contact.
Tires: A component that provides traction and assists with vehicle suspensions.
Glass: A component that provides clear visibility and protection in the form of windshield, side and rear mirrors.
Lights: A component that illuminates the road, including headlights, taillights, and turn signals.
Wipers: A set of components provided for maintaining windshield cleanliness.
Seat belts: A safety component that holds the driver and passengers in place during an impact.
Air conditioning/Heating system: A component that aims at regulating temperature and humidity inside the vehicle.
Dashboard instruments: These alphanumeric or analogue displays which provide the driver with important information concerning the vehicle.
