This picture describes a man riding a horse and an automobile. Long time ago, human had known to uses the animal for faster moving. For example, using dogs, reindeer, camel, cows, horses, and so on. Nowadays, we have many types of vehicle for moving such as bicycle, moto bicycle, automobile, train, plane, and spaceship. The most common moving vehicle is automobile.
What is the automobile?
In Oxford English dictionary: “Automobile is a road vehicle, typically with four wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine or electric motor and able to carry a small number of people”
In TCVN 6211:2003 (ISO 3833:1977) made by Vietnam Register:
What do you know about automotive industry?
This table shows the world automotive industry production volume in last 10 years. What can we read from this table?
Vehicle type definitions
Passenger cars are motor vehicles with at least four wheels, used for the transport of passengers, and comprising no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat.
Light commercial vehicles are motor vehicles with at least four wheels, used for the carriage of goods. Mass given in tons (metric tons) is used as a limit between light commercial vehicles and heavy trucks. This limit depends on national and professional definitions and varies between 3.5 and 7 tons.
Minibuses, derived from light commercial vehicles, are used for the transport of passengers, comprising more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat and having a maximum mass between 3.5 and 7 tons.
Heavy trucks are vehicles intended for the carriage of goods. Maximum authorized mass is over the limit (ranging from 3.5 to 7 tons) of light commercial vehicles. They include tractor vehicles designed for towing semi-trailers.
Buses and coaches are used for the transport of passengers, comprising more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat, and having a maximum mass over the limit (ranging from 3.5 to 7 tones) of light commercial vehicles.
Light vehicles include passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
Commercial vehicles include light commercial vehicles, heavy trucks, coaches and buses.
The total vehicles is increasing due to economic development.
The passenger cars take nearly 75% (three quarter) of total vehicle produced in the world. It shows that, the needs of moving by private vehicle is necessary.

1970s Airbag was invented
1980s Variable Valve Timming was invented (What were the valves in Vietnamese?)
1986: new generation 4 Wheel Steering system was invented
1995: Electronic Stability Program was inveted
1997: ThrustSSC, Thrust SSC or Thrust supersonic car is a British jet car developed by Richard Noble, Glynne Bowsher, Ron Ayers, and Jeremy Bliss.[1]
Thrust SSC holds the world land speed record, set on 15 October 1997, when it achieved a speed of 1,228 km/h (763 mph) and became the first land vehicle to officially break the sound barrier

An automobile has 3 basic functions: run, stop, and turn.
For running, the automobile needs powertrain system. It includes an engine and power transmission system. The engine generates torque, the power transmission system change this torque and transmit to the tires to impact to road surface, reaction force from road surface make vehicle moving.
For stopping, the automobile needs the brake system. Brake system creates braking torque to stop vehicle. This system change the kinetic energy of vehicle to heat energy.
For turning, the automobile needs the steering system. It change the direction of the vehicle.

According to European Union standards:
- Catalogy M: Motor vehicles having at least four wheels and for the carriage of passengers
- Catalogy N: Power-driven vehicles having at least four wheels and for the carriage of goods
- Catalogy O: Trailers (including semitrailers)
M1 Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of passengers and comprising no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat, and having a maximum mass (“technically permissible maximum laden mass”) not exceeding 3.5 tons

Explain axle/wheel configuration?
The first digit is the total number of axle head
The second digit is the number of drive axle head
1. Engine 2. Transmission system 3. Frame and body 4. Brake system 5. Suspension system 6. Electric system 7. Wheels
Front engine, rear wheel drive
Conventional type of layout
Well suited for load carriers
Has drive-train loss
Rear engine, rear wheel dirve:
Engine noise is insolated from the passenger compartment
Reduced drive-train loss by using tranaxle
Engine control links should be extended
Greater rear weight bias
Better traction but, rear weight transfer increases on acceleration
Better braking
Tend to oversteer (when decelerating)
Front engine, front wheel drive
Advantages
Economic
Vehicle is good adhesion on road as more weight is placed on the front wheels
Has better road holding even on curves and slipery road
Compact packaging:
No need central tunnel through passenger compartment
Engine can be mounted transversly
Limitations
Not used in powerfull cars as it’s difficult to feed more power and increase speed during a turn without resulting in understeer
All wheel drive
Has more drive-train loss
Understeer can result
However now its combated with trick and techy diffirentials and electronic to stay virtually as RWD for a few monments
An example of this would be illustrated by the following sample curves. The horizontal axis shows engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM) and the vertical axis indicates power in both kWm and in HP. There are two curves shown and the testing standards are indicated (ISO 3046). Typically these curves are referred to as “continuous” (the lowest output), and “intermittent” (the upper curve).
Engine horsepower curves often show the torque curve or “pull down torque” as well. This curve illustrates the amount of torque available from the engine as a load is applied that exceeds the engine’s rated torque at the operating RPM. The difference in the torque at the rated RPM and the maximum or peak torque is the “torque rise”. It is usually expressed as a percentage. (Peak Torque – Rated Torque / Rated Torque = Torque Rise X 100)
