How to build a resilient supply chain

Engine vertical and How to build a resilient supply chainhorizontal position: one article analysis In the automobile industry, in addition to horsepower, fuel consumption and price, the most frequent explanation mentioned by car enthusiasts is the position of the engine. At present, there are two mainstream engine positions: vertical and horizontal. So, what are these two engine positions and their advantages and disadvantages? This article will analyze it for you. 1. Engine vertical engine vertical means that the direction of the engine arrangement is the direction of the front and rear of the vehicle, perpendicular to the direction of travel. In this engine position, the transmission system, clutch, transmission and other equipment are connected to the engine, so the structure is relatively complex.The engine vertical is often used in rear-wheel drive cars, because it can provide greater power and horsepower while achieving self-balancing. Due to its complex structure, a few models will occupy space in the back seat and trunk, so the model of this structure is less comfortable. Advantages: 1) The position of the engine fits the front and rear axes of the car body, so that the weight is more smoothly distributed between the axles, thus significantly improving the maneuverability and stability of the vehicle. 2) The engine vertical can achieve rear-wheel drive, so the engine needs to transmit a lot of power, which can greatly improve the acceleration performance of the vehicle and provide higher safety and stability. Disadvantages: 1) Because the vertical structure of the engine is relatively complex and requires the cooperation of other spare parts, such as gearboxes and clutches, the manufacturing cost is high. 2) And the horizontal engineIn comparison, the engine takes up more space, resulting in the problem of vehicle space utilization, which will cause a greater compromise in the overall body structure. Two. The engine is horizontal. The engine is arranged in the left and right direction of the vehicle, which is parallel to the direction of travel. The horizontal engine was originally used in front-wheel drive vehicles, mainly to optimize the internal layout of the model. The horizontal structure of the engine is relatively simple, which reasonably distributes the body weight and improves the space utilization of the vehicle, so as to design a more comfortable and practical model. Advantages: 1) Under the same body size, the body structure of the horizontal engine is relatively simple, so the cost is cheaper than that of the engine. 2) Because the horizontal structure of the engine is relatively compact, the utilization of the space in the car is high, which is more practical in daily driving. Passengers can get more leg and head space in the car.Disadvantages: 1) The horizontal engine is usually equipped with front-wheel drive, and the horsepower of the front-wheel drive is relatively limited compared with the horsepower under the rear-wheel drive, so it is usually difficult for models with horizontal engines to produce "surpassers". 2) It is difficult to cool the front of the horizontal engine, and a separate cooling fan needs to be used. Conclusion: In summary, the position of the engine has a great impact on the structure and performance of the whole car, among which the driving method of the front wheel is also an important factor. If you have any questions about the choice of the driving form of the vehicle, you need to have an in-depth understanding of the model and vehicle performance, and choose according to its suitable price and vehicle type.
