What is the French DS car?
1 Answers
French cars have often played a pioneering role in China's automotive industry, with Citroën as a representative, and the high-end model DS leading the trend. Here is relevant information about DS: 1. Hydropneumatic Suspension System: DS was the first car to use a hydropneumatic suspension system. Before this, people used springs for car shock absorption designs. This created a dilemma where a car's sportiness and comfort could not be balanced. With this groundbreaking technology, DS provided a feasible solution to this problem. 2. Transmission and Clutch: When the brake button is pressed, the engine speed is adjusted below the clutch engagement speed through brake hydraulic and circuit devices. This method prevents unnecessary gear wear when encountering a red light. When braking is released, the engine idle speed increases, engaging the clutch, allowing the car to move forward normally. In an era when most cars could only be equipped with fully manual transmissions, this design was undoubtedly full of fun and convenience.
