What does lon mean in a car?
1 Answers
lon in a car refers to the sport mode of the transmission. Activating the sport mode of the car transmission can enhance the power of the car engine, making it more powerful. The types of transmissions are divided into manual transmission, mechanical automatic transmission, dual-clutch transmission, and automatic transmission. Manual Transmission (MT): Composed of gears and a mechanical clutch, it requires purely manual operation, including operating the clutch. Mechanical Automatic Transmission (AMT): Similar in structure to a manual transmission, the entire gear-shifting process can be completed by electronic control components without manual control. However, due to the lack of automation in the electronic control system, there is a noticeable jerkiness during gear shifts. Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT): Similar in structure to a manual transmission, it consists of two sets of clutches. Initially used in sports cars, it is now widely applied in various types of vehicles. Automatic Transmission (AT): Composed of components such as a torque converter, it has a relatively complex structure, smooth gear shifts, and is mature and reliable in technology, making it the choice for most automatic transmission models. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): Mainly composed of two cone-shaped shafts and a steel chain, it can control the transmission ratio at any time. Theoretically, it is the smoothest and most economical type among all transmissions. However, due to its structural limitations, it cannot withstand high torque during aggressive acceleration.
