The progress in technology brought about by the modern world paved the way for numerous conveniences and seamless processes. This goes true even for the automotive industry. The industry continuously leverages on the technological progress not only to provide a smoother ride, but to resolve the common car troubles that have daunted vehicle owners since time immemorial. Here are some few solutions for vehicle this 2019.
Excessive fuel consumption
Theoretically, the way you drive can cut down on your fuel costs. While this is a fact, driving with a minimal fuel consumption comes with practice. Fortunately, though, there are already hybrid solutions to save more fuel and even minimize carbon emissions. The smart hydraulic system created by Permo Drive is just one of these solutions for excessive fuel consumption. It is comparatively more efficient than hybrid electric systems, especially for larger vehicles.
Windshield solution
Keeping your windshield clean and free from any foreign material is mandatory for full visibility upon driving. However, this may prove to be a challenging task, especially if you are frequently driving on dirt roads or during the rainy season.
Luckily, hydrophobic coatings, which are consistently gaining popularity are already available these days. When you apply a hydrophobic coating, you are like giving your windshield a self-cleaning characteristic. This is because the titanium oxide in the coating allows water, dust, and other debris to be easily dispersed when these elements hit the windshield.
Slow tire leak
A slow tire leak may be difficult to recognize, especially if you do not see any puncture in your tire in the first place. You may just end up being surprised that you already have a flat tire upon parking. This is why it is important to have a tire pressure gauge in your trunk, in case it is needed.
Some of the older models of vehicles do not have a built-in TPMS, or tire pressure monitoring system. Thus, you will just notice a change in the quality of your vehicle run while you are driving.
Thanks to modern technology though, there are already tire monitor gadgets that will give you the capability to track your tire pressure in real-time, through your smartphones of course.
Alternator failure
Once your car starts running, the alternator keeps all the electrical systems working. Thus, when it breaks down, you may notice some of your car sensors no longer working, or even your car air conditioning system may cease to function. Worse is if this leads to your battery damage because the alternator is also the primary component that maintains the battery.
There are already several car gadgets that you can use to ensure that your alternator is fully functional. However, religiously bringing in your vehicle during the recommended service intervals will greatly prolong the life of your car’s alternator. Alternatively, you may want to replace your alternator altogether once it shows signs of failure.
Vehicle troubles have continuously been experienced in the automotive industry. Thanks to the advancements in modern technology, most of these problems have been put to rest with resolutions appropriate in these modern times. Now, everyone can have a smoother and more pleasant ride.
