The electronic accelerator controls the engine
output electronically and, over and above
intake-air control, offers the advantage that
functions such as idling speed control, cruise
control or engine governing can be executed
easily and comfortably.
.
The throttle valve can be opened regardless of
the accelerator position, and this serves to
reduce throttle losses.
The ideal combination of throttle valve cross-
section and charge pressure produce the
necessary torque.
In this way, the throttle valve can be opened
fully while the accelerator pedal has not been
fully depressed.With electronic accelerator, much improved
emissions and higher fuel economy are
achieved in specific load states.
Over and above this, any accelerator
characteristic can be programmed, e.g.
gradual acceleration when driving at low
speed.
The electronic accelerator is used for reducing
and increasing torque and does not adversely
affect exhaust emissions.
