            • ground clearance
          • Definition(s)
            • Ground clearance is the measurement from the lowest-hanging point under a vehicle (usually a differential, part of the suspension or the exhaust system) towards the ground. A high ground clearance allows a vehicle to drive more easily off-road or through heavy snow without damaging the underbody. autoevolution
          • Example sentence(s)
            • The decks are also designed with a shallow breakover angle. This allows us to load cars with low ground clearance such as race or rally cars. - Locargo by
            • It is important for 4x4s and other off-road vehicles to have sufficient ground clearance when being driven off the beaten track. Irregular or unpredictable terrain can damage the underside of the car if the ground clearance is too low. Many off-roaders are fitted with underbody protection as a result. - Parker's by
            • Aside from the high approach and departure angles and ground clearance, the H2 was an early showcase of brake-based four-wheel traction control and variable throttle progression, in addition to the more common locking center and rear differentials. - cars.com by

            • Altezza da terra (del pianale del veicolo)
          • Definition(s)
            • Ma la stabilità del veicolo che trasporta un carico rischioso dipende anche dalla planarità della strada, dalla velocità del veicolo e dal tipo di guida del conducente ma soprattutto da eventuali frenate d'emergenza, specialmente in curva. Ne sanno qualcosa i trasportatori di coils i quali, anche se utilizzano veicoli strutturati con gli appositi alloggiamenti (culle), sanno che l'altezza da terra del loro pianale è troppo elevata per quel tipo di trasporto. Own research - by Marco De Angelis
          • Example sentence(s)
            • L’altezza da terra di un corpo vettura all’asfalto, nella minore distanza possibile, concorre alla creazione dell’effetto suolo. Ovvero la vettura viene "aspirata" verso il basso dall’aria che passa tra la scocca e il manto stradale perchè questa genera una depressione. - web site by Marco De Angelis

            • klīrenss
          • Definition(s)
            • Atstatums starp spēkratu tiltu vai transmisijas zemāko punktu un balstvirsmu. Klīrenss ir viens no spēkratu pārgājības ģeometriskajiem raksturotājiem. LZA TK - by Kaspars Gasuns
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Bez tam Bugatti Veyron tiks uzstādīta arī unikāla regulējama piekare, kas spēs mainīt auto klīrensu dažādu apstākļu ietekmē. Normālā stāvoklī superauto klīrenss ir aptuveni 12,5 centimetri, bet, sasniedzot 220 km/h, klīrenss automātiski samazinās līdz 8 cm priekšā un 9 cm - aizmugurē. Mēģinot sasniegt maksimālo ātrumu, klīrenss samazinās līdz attiecīgi 6,5 cm un 7 cm. - iauto.lv by Kaspars Gasuns
            • Šī elektroniskā sistēma optimizē griezes momenta sadali starp riteņiem, balstiekārtas regulējumu un klīrensu atkarībā no ceļa seguma. Pagriežot viduskonsolē nelielu kloķīti, vadītājs izvēlas vienu no pieciem darbības režīmiem: bāzes (parastiem ceļiem), slideniem segumiem (zāle, grants vai sniegs) vai vienu no trim bezceļiem – dubļi, smiltis, akmeņi. Katrā režīmā tiek izvēlēts piemērotākais klīrenss, dzinēja atsaucība, slīpuma turēšanas režīms, elektroniskās pretizslīdēšanas sistēmas darbība un, protams, arī pieskaņota transmisijas darbība. - autonews.lv by Kaspars Gasuns
