Suoritusmoottori

Suoritusmoottori is a term used in Finnish and refers to a type of automatic transmission used in vehicles. It is commonly found in turbocharged engines and is designed to optimize the use of turbo boost. Suoritusmoottori ensures that the engine's waste gases are directed into the turbocharger during overrun and coasting, allowing for the turbine to spin freely and recover lost energy.

This type of transmission is typically used in high-performance vehicles, providing improved acceleration and responsiveness. Suoritusmoottori technology helps to improve fuel efficiency, reducing emissions and increasing overall performance. In vehicles equipped with suoritusmoottori, the engine's camshafts adjust the lift angle and valve overlap to optimize performance and efficiency.

Suoritusmoottori engines often feature dual camshafts and constantly variable valve timing, allowing for fine adjustments in engine performance. This technology allows the engine to switch between low-speed torque and high-speed power. Suoritusmoottori is particularly beneficial in turbocharged engines, where the waste gases are more efficiently utilized during overrun and coasting. As a result, overall fuel efficiency is increased while emissions and performance are improved.

Suoritusmoottori is widely used in high-performance vehicles from manufacturers such as Saab and Volvo, where it has been a key component in their engines for several years. The technology continues to evolve with advancements in engine design and management systems.
