The inability of local technicians to source vital technical information is robbing off on drivers and admirers of new generation vehicles. MANNY PHILIPSON reports.
Imagine cranking your engine from the confine of your office. And thereafter, seat back and command the car to drive-on without you steering. That is the way vehicles’ engineering are heading. Brilliant idea though, local admirers of this concept are in a fix as to whether the inadequacy of technical information and manpower would ever let patrons of these dream vehicles maximize the inherent values of this initiative.
some statistics allege that the automobile market in Nigeria ranks among one of the world’s renowned for sophistication.
So critical is the report that one in every five potential patrons wants to drive something relatively different and unique regardless of the cost. Little wonder, technology is desperately heading the way of sophistication without considering the inadequacies of the local markets that are bereft of necessary technical information and manpower.
As it is today, patrons in Nigeria import vehicles from various part of the world provided such vehicles could drive on paved roads.
In North America, for instance, vehicles are now manufactured with on board diagnostics systems, which are referred to as OBD 11 (On Board Diagnostics - Second Generation). This level of vehicle sophistication has rendered much of the early fumigation conversion technology in the world obsolete.
Fumigation conversion technology is the term given to non-injection systems with a mixer and a regulator.
However, Yugo-Tech has responded to the new vehicle market requirements by designing and developing a new Sequential, Natural Gas and Propane Aftermarket Dual Fuel Injection Conversion System.
This system is called the “Sequin” Conversion System, which is an acronym for “Sequential Injection”. This is an innovative system that utilizes the vehicle computer logic to drive the additional natural gas or propane injectors.
These injector signals are then modified by the Yugo-Tech electronics to provide the engine with the precise fueling that is required by these sophisticated engine management systems.
In this manner of conversion, the alternate fuel system completely mirrors the vehicle original fueling strategy and sensor system checks. This system prevents the computer from violating its parameters and setting the check engine light.
Yugo-Tech offers a full line of pressure regulators as well as a full line of variable venturi mixers to suit various engines sizes.
Components can be purchased separately or in a complete conversion system (kit) that includes everything required to convert the vehicle right down to the small hardware. Yugo-Tech has fumigation conversion components for natural gas conversions as well as propane conversions.
The size and dynamic of the global automotive industry exemplifies our desire to create, to design, to engineer, to advance, ultimately to drive what we consider the most intricate machine of our time.
As humans, we are driven to make things more efficient and dynamic. For example, the evolution of computers in the last 10 years or better still, the Internet i.e. the World Wide Web (WWW) that was not developed until 1991 and it has already become an amazingly integral part of everyday business and personal lives—somewhat like the automobile.
Today, it has truly spurred peoples’ ability to share innovation around the globe, which is why there has been proliferation of evolving technology, new materials, enhanced systems and more sophisticated sensors and devices on today’s automobiles.
No doubt, vehicle sophistication has moved “along the curve with Moore’s Law,” In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore made a prediction that the number of transistors on a chip doubles about every two years.
This observation about silicon integration has truly fueled the worldwide technology revolution with the automobile being no exception.
Automakers now build electronic features and the capacity of chips, boards and modules in vehicles in a somewhat rapid progression, and there seems to be no limit in sight.
So much is today said about clean diesels, hybrid vehicles, fuel cells, by-wire systems, active safety systems, telematics and so much more. Suffice to say, there is truly no more dynamic time than the present meaning that the only constant for the aftermarket in the automobile industry, is change.
In 1993, Honda unveiled a completely new vehicle that was set to revolutionize the way seven people could move in an automobile. They christened this new creative car the Honda Odyssey. Built on Honda’s large sedan platform, the Odyssey embodies 7-passenger mobility in a sedan driving package.
And until the Honda Odyssey, driving pleasure was unheard of in this category of vehicle.
Honda quickly rewrote all the rules in this class and has become the iconic star of the newly-found Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) class.
The 3rd generation model takes the Honda Odyssey advantage into a new era. Honda engineering finesse defies conventional wisdom by packaging more space, performance and style into a new age chassis that is shorter and lower than the previous generation.
State-of-the-art technology meets the best of Honda spirit in this 8th generation Honda
New levels of driver’s enjoyment and vehicle sophistication are now being offered. The urban, cutting-edge exterior design of the new Odyssey fits into every modern living setting. Its low and aerodynamic stance elevates the dynamic performance of the Honda Odyssey into a level that is normally associated with powerful sports sedan. Let the unconventional 2.4-litre Honda Odyssey amaze you.
Similarly, comfort and supreme driving pleasure are the new hallmarks of the new Nissan Murano crossover car. The history of the automobile dates back to more than 200 years. In 1769, the very first self-propelled road vehicle was introduced. It was a steam-driven military tractor invented by French engineer and mechanic Nicolas Joseph Cugnot.
But his machine never saw production because it was much slower and harder to operate than a horse-drawn carriage.
