- Improved use of energy,
- Pollution control,
- Road safety, and
- More comfort
are the requirements to be met by modern road vehicles.
The hydrostatic power transmission, provided that it is designed
and built according to certain fundamental and technological
principles, is an essential factor in this respect.
These fundamental /operation under pressures of >500 bar
etc.../ and technological /use of materials with a high
stretch-modulus and working under compression etc.../ properties
ensure:
• Efficiency of >92% over a very large range of
applications.
• Effective decrease of exhaust gases.
• Noiseless operation.
• Comfort and safety.
Each one of these different features will be the subject of an
analysis.
