What are the main components of a sedan?
1 Answers
A car is mainly composed of four major assemblies: the body, engine, chassis, and electrical equipment. It is the power unit of the car. Its function is to burn fuel to generate power, which then drives the wheels through the chassis's transmission system, enabling the car to move. There are two types of engines: gasoline engines and diesel engines. A gasoline engine consists of the crankshaft-connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel supply system, cooling system, lubrication system, ignition system, and starting system. Diesel engines use compression ignition, so they do not have an ignition system. The chassis serves to support and mount the car's engine and its components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car. It receives power from the engine, enabling the car to move and ensuring normal operation. The chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, driving system, steering system, and braking system. The body is mounted on the chassis frame and provides space for the driver and passengers or for carrying goods. The electrical equipment consists of the power source and electrical devices. This includes the power battery and generator. Electrical devices include the engine starting system, gasoline engine ignition system, and other electrical equipment.
