Toyota TTC
Toyota TTC (Toyota Total Clean System) is a moniker used in Japan to identify vehicles built with emission control technology. This technology was installed so that vehicles would comply with Japanese emission regulations passed in 1968. The term was introduced in Japan and included an externally mounted badge on the trunk of equipped vehicles. The technology first appeared in January 1975 on the Toyota Crown, Toyota Corona Mark II, Toyota Corona, Toyota Chaser, Toyota Carina, Toyota Corolla, and Toyota Sprinter. There were three different versions initially introduced: TTC-C for Catalyst (installing a catalytic converter), TTC-V for Vortex (installing an exhaust gas recirculation valve), and TTC-L for Lean Burn (using a lean burn method). As Toyota's technology evolved, the three systems were eventually used in conjunction in future models. The TTC-V was a licensed copy of Honda's CVCC system and was introduced in February 1975. It was only available in the Carina and Corona l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Engine Technology
An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one or more forms of energy into mechanical energy. Available energy sources include potential energy (e.g. energy of the Earth's gravitational field as exploited in hydroelectric power generation), heat energy (e.g. geothermal), chemical energy, electric potential and nuclear energy (from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Many of these processes generate heat as an intermediate energy form; thus heat engines have special importance. Some natural processes, such as atmospheric convection cells convert environmental heat into motion (e.g. in the form of rising air currents). Mechanical energy is of particular importance in transportation, but also plays a role in many industrial processes such as cutting, grinding, crushing, and mixing. Mechanical heat engines convert heat into work via various thermodynamic processes. The internal combustion engine is perhaps the most common example of a mechanical heat engine in which hea ...

Vehicle Emissions Control
Vehicle emissions control is the study of reducing the emissions produced by motor vehicles, especially internal combustion engines. The primary emissions studied include hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and sulfur oxides. Starting in the 1950s and 1960s, various regulatory agencies were formed with a primary focus on studying the vehicle emissions and their effects on human health and the environment. As the world's understanding of vehicle emissions improved, so did the devices used to mitigate their impacts. In the United States, the regulatory requirements of the Clean Air Act, which was amended many times, greatly restricted acceptable vehicle emissions. With the restrictions, vehicles started being designed more efficiently by utilizing various emission control systems and devices which became more common in vehicles over time. Types of emissions Emissions of many air pollutants have been shown t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Daihatsu Delta
The Daihatsu Delta also known as the DAIHATSU Delta Truck is an automotive nameplate that has been used on a variety of Japanese Daihatsu trucks and vans between 1970 and 2010. They have usually been Toyota-based, or otherwise based on models from the Toyota-owned Hino Motors. The trucks have utilized a cab over engine or mid-engine design. Typically fitted with Toyota engines, a few versions, particularly diesels, received Daihatsu's own engines. The Delta badge was retired in Japan in 2003, but continued to be used on models built locally in other markets until 2010. Medium-duty truck Set to replace the old Daihatsu V series cab over medium trucks, between October 1970 and 2003 (2010 outside Japan), Daihatsu retailed the Delta and Delta 1500/2000—a rebadged Toyota Dyna. Five generations were constructed, with new models released in 1977, 1984, 1995 and 1999. While the third generation Delta finished production for the Japanese market in 1995, it continued in production u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Daihatsu Charade
The Daihatsu Charade is a supermini car produced by the Japanese manufacturer Daihatsu from 1977 to 2000. It is considered by Daihatsu as a "large compact" or "supermini" car, to differentiate it from the smaller ''kei car'' compacts in its line-up, such as the Daihatsu Mira. In Japan, it offers buyers more interior space and a larger engine that allows for the car to also be used outside of urban areas. It replaced the Daihatsu Consorte, although the Daihatsu Charmant, Charmant took over from the bigger-engined Consortes, and didn't share a platform with a Toyota product. The name "Charade" is a direct reference to the French racetrack Circuit de Charade, which held the French Grand Prix in 1965, 1969, 1970 and 1972. In China, the Daihatsu Charade was called Xiali and was produced by Tianjin FAW, under the registered mark of "China FAW". From September 1986 to 2009, it sold over 1.5 million units in that country. It also provided the basis for countless unlicensed Chinese copie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Daihatsu A-series Engine
The Daihatsu A-series engine is a range of compact Straight-twin engine, two-cylinder internal combustion piston engines, designed by Daihatsu with the aid of their owner Toyota. Petrol-driven, it has cast iron engine blocks and aluminum cylinder heads, which are of a single overhead cam lean burn design with belt-driven camshafts. The head design was called "TGP lean-burn", for "Turbulence Generating Pot". The engine also had twin balancing shafts, which provided smoothness equivalent to that of a traditional four-cylinder engine - although it also cost nearly as much to build. The engine was developed with some haste in order to replace the two-stroke "ZM" engines used in Daihatsu's earlier Kei cars, and was the first unit to take full advantage of the new 550 cc displacement limit in effect from 1 January 1976. It was first presented in May 1976 as the #AB, AB10.#Enjoy, Baobab Street, ''Enjoy'', p. 130 Eventually, even a turbocharged version was produced.#Enjoy, Baobab Stree ...

Daihatsu Fellow
F, or f, is the sixth letter of the Latin alphabet and many modern alphabets influenced by it, including the modern English alphabet and the alphabets of all other modern western European languages. Its name in English is ''ef'' (pronounced ), and the plural is ''efs''. History The origin of ⟨F⟩ is the Semitic letter '' waw'', which represented a sound like or . It probably originally depicted either a hook or a club. It may have been based on a comparable Egyptian hieroglyph such as that which represented the word ''mace'' (transliterated as ḥ(dj)): T3 The Phoenician form of the letter was adopted into Greek as a vowel, ''upsilon'' (which resembled its descendant ⟨ Y⟩ but was also the ancestor of the Roman letters ⟨ U⟩, ⟨ V⟩, and ⟨ W⟩); and, with another form, as a consonant, ''digamma'', which indicated the pronunciation , as in Phoenician. Latin ⟨F⟩, despite being pronounced differently, is ultimately descended from digamma and closely ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Daihatsu Consorte
The Daihatsu Consorte is a small sedan sold by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu from 1969 to 1977. It was based on the Toyota Publica, and its name, meaning ''"consort"'' in Italian, reflected Daihatsu's newly established affiliation with Toyota while also continuing the theme started with the preceding Compagno ("companion"). It replaced the Compagno as Daihatsu's passenger vehicle. The Consorte was derived from Toyota's Publica and was sold at a newly established Japanese dealership network intended to exclusively sell the Publica. This was called '' Toyota Publica Store'' until 1966 when it was renamed '' Toyota Corolla Store'' to sell the all-new Toyota Corolla. This arrangement allowed Toyota to sell the Publica at recently acquired Daihatsu dealerships, giving Daihatsu a car larger than kei class cars. The Consorte used a Daihatsu developed engine, while the Publica used a two-cylinder, air-cooled, flat-2 '' U'' engine. Initially, the Consorte was available only as a two-do ...

Daihatsu Charmant
The is a subcompact car built by Daihatsu. It was succeeded by the Applause two years after Charmant production ended. The Charmant was heavily based on the E20/E70 Toyota Corolla platforms; model changes paralleled those of the Corolla. All Charmants were fitted with Toyota inline-four engines, ranging from 1.2 to 1.6 litres. The word ''charmant'' is French for "charming." When it was introduced, it was the largest Daihatsu passenger vehicle sold in Japan (until the introduction of the Delta Wide minivan in 1982), with the Charade supermini in the middle, and the Mira ''kei car'' as the smallest. __TOC__ First generation (A10/A20/A30/A40; 1974–1981) First presented in November 1974, the first generation Daihatsu Charmant was based on the E20 Corolla platform. The Charmant was marketed with luxury orientation by the use of dual headlights which was only available for higher class cars at the time. Initially only three grades were offered; Deluxe, Custom and Hi-Custom ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mitsubishi MCA
Mitsubishi MCA stands for Mitsubishi Clean Air, a moniker used in Japan to identify vehicles built with emission control technology. The term was first introduced in Japan, with later introductions internationally. The technology first appeared in January 1973 on the Mitsubishi 4G32A gasoline-powered inline four cylinder engine installed in all Mitsubishi vehicles using the 4G32 engine, and the Saturn-6 6G34 six-cylinder gasoline-powered engine installed in the Mitsubishi Debonair. The technology was installed so that their vehicles would be in compliance with Japanese Government emission regulations passed in 1968. Emission reducing technology began with the installation of a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve (MCA-I), followed by the addition of a thermo reactor air pump and catalytic converter in addition to an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve (MCA-II) and a solenoid controlled automatic choke installed on the carburetor. The MCA-Jet system has a small third ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
