Validation of Road Load Characteristic of a Sub-Compact Vehicle by Engine Operation

Vehicle efficiency relates to pollutants and cost savings in third world countries. In term of subcompact cars, the vehicle characteristics are governed by the engine and road load characteristics. Overall, it involves the rolling resistance and aerodynamics loading on the moving car on the road. Te...
