Simulation Of Transmission Matching To Improve Cng-Di Vehicle Performance

This research presents the process of designing a simulation tool to predict dynamic performance of a vehicle. In this case, PROTON WAJA powered by newly developed CNG-DI CamPro prototype engine was taken as model to be predicted and at the same time to improve vehicle performance. Besides that, the...
