Large digging and engineering activities require vehicles with enhanced load carrying capacity, high off-road driving characteristics and improved operation time. Therefore, the French company Eiffage gave preference to the largest dump trucks in the world, the Volvo A60H, equipped with Allison's automatic transmissions, which are ideally suited for a wide range of construction activities.
Automatic transmissions function with the help of hydraulic pressure to implement the process of gear shifting itself, and utilize valve body solenoids to handle the pressure of the ATF to specify the shifting points. There are many solenoids responsible for different gear shifting operations, and in this article we will have a closer look at downshifting solenoids.
In motorsports, a good start frequently turns out to be the key to success, and this is particularly true for drag racing, where cars cover the whole distance within seconds. Many nonprofessional drag racing admirers must wonder how drag racers manage to take off so fast. In this article, we will consider a special mechanism named transbrake, which does the trick.
