Performance was average for its class, the 1.6 struggling more with its lower torque characteristics that didn't seem suited to the weight of the car.
Uses its electric motor's low rev/high torque characteristics to make a rocket-sled on wheels'
The Logo, with a lightweight body and torque characteristics, could easily handle city driving and moderate altitude climbing.
For commercial uses requiring towing, load carrying and other tractive tasks, diesel engines tend to have better torque characteristics.
This torque characteristic can be clearly seen in manufacturer published engine performance curves.
This type of motor is basically an old design but is one which has extremely high starting torque characteristics.
The system is also 'retuned' to account for the new engines and gearboxes with their different torque characteristics.
Hydraulic motor ratchets with their characteristic higher torque characteristics are rare outside of heavy industry.
Such propulsion arrangement has several advantages in icebreaking operations mainly due to the low-speed torque characteristics of electric motors.
The automatic transmission was also recalibrated to match the new engines torque characteristics.
