Comments (0) During the big oil crisis in the 1970s, European car companies started advertising diesel engines for commercial use as an alternative to gasoline. Those who tried it out were a bit disappointed — the engines were very loud, and they would arrive home to find their cars covered from front to back in black soot — the same soot responsible for smog in big cities.

A headline earlier this month from NBC Los Angeles read “Can’t We Build Cars the Way We Make Chips?” The premise of the article was that all we needed to fix the auto industry, was to hire a few auto designers, send their drawings overseas, and this would result in a healthy American auto industry.
After all, this is now how much of the U.S. chip industry works. However much of the engineering and drafting is also being outsourced overseas.
Companies like AT&T, LSI Logic, Hewlett-Packard and others don’t make anything anymore. They are “fabless”, meaning they hire a third party foundry overseas to manufacture something for them, and then they put their name on it. Apple’s iPod and Macintosh (MAC) are examples. On the products box, it says “”Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China”. Apple does not have a factory in China. Apple does not make chips.

By definition, a four-wheel drive vehicle is one that will provide you with better traction and control of your vehicle in any condition, be it muddy or icy. These types of vehicles have been around for decades and were first created in 1899. The first four-wheel car was used as transportation to the moon. Since then the style and use of the vehicle has transformed significantly. Most of these types of vehicles are used by the military, but technology has allowed the average person to enjoy the benefits in passenger vehicles.

Full time 4WD, also called permanent 4WD, (not to be confused with: part time 4WD ) is a system that powers all four wheels at all times and can be used full time on all surfaces including pavement. The additional feature of a differential incorporated into the transfer case makes it possible to use 4WD all the time.
2WD is not available (only part time 4WD offers that option). Each tire creates about 25% of the available torque when the ground is level with a consistant surface. Driver has a choice of a “4-high” (that’s your every day setting) and “4-low”.
Full time 4WD vehicles work very well on-road and are very capable off-road.
When “4-low” is selected the wheels create substantially more torque (on a Grand Cherokee its 2.72 times more) than in “4-high” – at the same time the vehicle moves at substantially slower speeds (2.72 times slower on a Jeep Grand Cherokee).

Ribut-ribut masalah keuangan General Motors di Amerika Serikat sana, ternyata tak mempengaruhi penetrasi PT. GM Autoworld Indonesia (GMAI). Buktinya, Agen Tunggal Pemegang Merek (ATPM) Chevrolet di Indonesia itu–dalam rentang kurang satu bulan–justru meluncurkan dua produk terbaru; Chevrolet Captiva AWD (All Whell Drive) dan Chevrolet Captiva FWD (Front Whell Drive) Model Year 2009.
Pertama, kita akan bahas soal Captiva AWD. Karena model ini merupakan varian tertinggi dari Chevrolet Captiva yang dilengkapi segerombol fitur terbaru. Sebelumnya, GMAI sudah memasarkan Captiva bermesin bensin 2.4 liter dan diesel common rail 2.0 liter dengan turbocharger. Namun, keduanya menggunakan sistem penggerak 4×2.
