Ajokäyrän
Ajokäyrän is a Finnish term that translates to "driving curve" or "performance curve." It refers to a graphical representation of a vehicle's performance characteristics, typically showing the relationship between engine speed (RPM) and power output, torque, or fuel consumption. These curves are essential for understanding how a vehicle behaves under different operating conditions and are commonly found in automotive engineering and enthusiast literature.
The most common types of ajokäyrän are the power curve and the torque curve. The power curve
Engineers use ajokäyrän to optimize engine design, select appropriate gearing, and predict vehicle acceleration. For drivers,
In addition to power and torque, ajokäyrän can also display fuel consumption. These curves help illustrate
