What are the hazards of car lugging?
1 Answers
The hazards of car lugging include the following: 1. Low gear with high (speed) lugging; high gear with low (speed) lugging. Neither type of lugging is a good phenomenon, as both can cause damage to the machine and increase fuel consumption. 2. Severe wear on the clutch disc; 3. Significant wear and tear on the transmission; 4. According to the engine's load characteristics, when the throttle opening is small, the engine load rate is low, and fuel consumption is high. 5. If the vehicle frequently operates in a lugging state, the clutch, transmission, drive shaft, differential, and other transmission components may suffer from continuous impacts, leading to premature damage and a shortened lifespan. Additionally, the noise produced during lugging can be unbearable for passengers. 6. When driving in a lugging state, if an emergency situation arises requiring immediate acceleration to overcome an obstacle, pressing the accelerator may not result in an immediate speed increase, potentially leading to a passive situation.
