The 8L 90 is the subject of a class-action lawsuit filed in December 2018 that alleges the transmission suffers from persistent "shudder" issues and that GM has known about the problems since its introduction and has failed to provide a solution, instead choosing to wait until the unit is out of warranty.
The marketing name for the transmission is the "Direct Shift – 8AT 8-speed automatic transmission" [3] [4] Unlike the UB 80 transmission, which was developed for Toyota by Aisin AW, the UA 80 was developed in a joint venture between Toyota and Aisin AW. Due to global application, development was done in a global fashion involving engineering ...
Nearly all junctions with high-speed railways are grade-separated. On the French Lignes à Grande Vitesse high-speed network, the principal junction on the LGV Sud-Est, at Pasilly where the line to Dijon diverges, and on the LGV Atlantique at Courtalain where the line to Le Mans diverges, are fully grade-separated with special high-speed switches (points in British terminology) that permit the ...
The Llinars Bridge this bridge is the first steel structure in the high-speed railway (HSR) joining Barcelona and the French Border. The 1,883-foot-long (574 m) Llinars HSR bridge comprises two parts: a 1,008-foot-long (307 m) composite steel–concrete structure crossing Autopista AP-7, and a continuous prestressed concrete bridge crossing the Mogent River with a maximum span of 157 feet (48 m).
A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) (sometimes referred to as a twin-clutch transmission) is a type of multi-speed vehicle transmission system, that uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets. [1] The design is often similar to two separate manual transmissions with their respective clutches contained within one housing, and working as ...
It is the second major river crossing built for the high-speed rail line, after the Fresno River Viaduct to the north. [ 1 ] The 4,741-foot (1,445 m) bridge combines a double concrete arch span crossing the river with a pergola structure to carry the high-speed tracks over Union Pacific Railroad Fresno Subdivision tracks.
An engine order telegraph or E.O.T., also referred to as a Chadburn, [1] is a communications device used on a ship (or submarine) for the pilot on the bridge to order engineers in the engine room to power the vessel at a certain desired speed.
The Western HVDC Link is a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) undersea electrical link in the United Kingdom, between Hunterston in Western Scotland and Flintshire Bridge (Connah's Quay) in North Wales, routed to the west of the Isle of Man. [2] It has a transmission capacity of 2,250 MW and became fully operational in 2019.
