2003 Ford Windstar Ac Compressor It Was Produced Starting in the Model Year Through and Is No Longer in Production 2003 ford windstar ac compressor It was produced starting in the model year through and is no longer in production. It is built upon a light truck chassis used in the Ford Ranger. A few vehicles with lead-acid batteries were sold, but most units were leased for fleet use. A few persistent and interested private parties were able to obtain leases over a period of three to five years. No other interior color options were available. The principal identifiers of an electric Ranger are the appearance of the front charging door in a grille location that is open on ICE Internal Combustion Engine Rangers, the missing tailpipe, and the visibility of the EV's unique rear suspension and the traction motor from behind the vehicle. From the side, the vehicle is almost indistinguishable from the ICE Ranger except for a modest script Electric on the side. Only the slight projection of the battery tray below the frame rails is noticeable at a distance. Vehicle height is close to that of four-wheel drive vehicles due to its being built on a 4wd frame, and utilization of the heavier duty 4wd front torsion bar suspension. The spare tire could be carried at a station within the truck bed. The spare tire is poorly [ according to whom? Many operators simply did not carry the spare. To improve aerodynamics, the bed is covered by a vinyl snap on cover supported by aluminum bows. Snap receivers slide within aluminum channels. A rear bow allows the tailgate to be opened without removing the cover. The cover can be quite difficult to re-snap under cold conditions due to shrinkage and stiffness of the vinyl material. As the bed was a carryover from the standard Ford Ranger body, some owners opted for after-market tonneau covers, such as hard fiberglass or roll-top. Various indicator lights are included, one of which indicates that the truck is plugged in for charging. This is interlocked with the start circuit, disabling it if the Avcon paddle is inserted. Ford attempted to make the driving and operating experience as similar as possible to that experienced in an ICE vehicle with an automatic transmission. A selector operates similar to that for an automatic transmission with the following positions: [ citation needed ]. The economy position reduces the maximum speed, and engages energy recovery regenerative braking , [2] so it is useful for long downgrades and when approaching a stop or for start and stop traffic. Drive is normally used only for freeway use. A conventional switch arrangement is used to provide key inserted detection at Off, Accessory, Run, and Start. Other controls are identical to that of the ICE version. The heating system uses a ceramic core resistance heater. Air conditioning is provided with an electric-motor driven compressor-condenser-evaporator system. The rear suspension consists of a De Dion tube that located the wheels and which was sprung by the usual longitudinal leaf springs. The first year of production used lightweight carbon fiber monolithic leaf springs which had insufficient lateral stiffness to provide lateral location of the suspension; these early versions also featured a Watt's linkage. Later versions used conventional steel leaf springs and did not have the Watt's linkage. The rear wheels are powered by a six pole alternating current motor operating through a single speed three to one reduction transmission and differential. The motor, transmission, and differential are contained in a single unit mounted high between the frame rails, transversely between the rear wheels. Half shafts angle downward to drive the wheels. All wheels including the spare are made of cast aluminum. Tires are low rolling resistance, similar to what would be found on a full-size sedan, rather than on a truck. Later models had wheels of a large 'spoke' design. Power consumption for light duty suburban use is around watt-hours per mile, both by the EPA figures for early models and by some owners' experience. The Ford Ranger EV controller electronics will allow strong acceleration even when in 'E' economy shifter mode. Thus a heavy foot will reduce the EV's range. Batteries are contained in one big battery box that is bolted to the underside of the vehicle. It can be removed using specialized shop equipment. Individual batteries are then serviced and replaced from the open top of the module. The Lead-Acid setup is using 39 x 8V batteries setup on two layers. The NiMH setup is using 25 x 12V batteries on one layer. The lead-acid battery pack consisted of 39 valve-regulated lead-acid modules assembled by East Penn Manufacturing for Delphi, with a weight of In California and some limited areas outside of California, a NiMH nickel-metal hydride battery version was offered, originally exclusively for lease. Actual range of the lead-acid Ford Ranger EV is less. Charging is through an Avcon conductive connector, provided beneath a hinged door to the right side of the grille. It is possible to use either an adapter or to upgrade the plug on the truck to the updated J standard. The two connectors use an identical signaling and wiring scheme with ground, two hots, proximity and pilot. With an adapter or after an upgrade, Ranger EVs can use the newer public charging infrastructure being deployed nationwide that utilizes the new J standard. The power electronics such as the motor, motor controller, AC motor controller, and high voltage DCDC converter are liquid-cooled. The batteries and battery charger are air-cooled. There were numerous problems with the NiMH Ranger associated with an inability to accept a charge in hot environmental conditions, and some other problems requiring replacement of major components, but Ford successfully addressed these problems early in the vehicle's life cycle. Some leases were continued despite the shorter range. The lead-acid batteries are sensitive to temperature, losing a substantial portion of capacity in winter conditions. When plugged in for charge the battery temperature is sensed and battery heaters used to maintain temperature sufficient to retain specified range - a necessity for colder climate fleet use, where vehicles are usually parked outdoors. This would suggest that to enhance the economy of use in such climates that the vehicle should be sheltered. NiMH batteries do not have this temperature sensitivity; however, models with NiMH batteries do have a loss in range in cold temperatures, perhaps because of greater rolling resistance in the drive train and tires. The ability to charge NiMH batteries is limited by heat gain, so these batteries are air-cooled by two fans. The first fan is circulating the air around the batteries. The second fan is exchanging the air inside the battery box. The majority of Ford Ranger EVs were leased to fleets. It was expected that Ford, like other companies, would completely destroy almost all remaining stocks by crushing, as has been done by several other major vehicle manufacturers. This plan engendered considerable resistances from electric vehicle fans, with the adverse publicity prompting a change in Ford's policy. This change of policy appears to have also influenced Toyota not to destroy all of its leased RAV-4 electrics. Also, a persistent few of Ford's lease return resistors some of whom were actually allowed to buy the vehicle under terms of their lease arrangements by the dealer's use of a non-specific lease form were allowed to purchase their vehicles for one dollar. While most of the 1, vehicles produced have since been destroyed, a number of Ranger EVs have been parted out for spares and the remaining several hundred units have been refurbished using selected used and new old stock batteries and other salvage components both with lead-acid and NiMH batteries by a third party company Blue Sky Motors of Sacramento, California. It is not yet clear what would need to be changed within the vehicle to use other batteries such as PbA or NiCad. Ford has announced no plans to resume production of this model. The North American market Ford Ranger was discontinued after the model year , however, the Ranger line continued with the new T6 generation of the Ford Ranger for Europe. Ford, however, partnered with Azure Dynamics to provide an electric vehicle version of its popular Ford Transit Connect cargo van for the United States market only from to Ford would later release an all-electric version of the Focus for the model year.

  • Kyle Smith Wins the 2019 FIM Europe Supersport Cup Kyle
    30th September 2019 Press Release n. 96 European Supersport Cup 600: Kyle Smith wins the 2019 FIM Europe Supersport Cup Kyle Smith (Team Pedercini Racing) was able to clinch the 2019 FIM Europe Supersport Cup title at Circuit de Nevers Magny Cours in France following a year of intense battle in the ever-competitive series. 2019 had a positive start for Smith that at the first round of the season in Aragón was able to finish inside the top ten, crossing the line in ninth position. But after a strong beginning, the British rider had to experience more difficulties when he headed to The Netherlands seven days later. With the severe weather conditions and the cold temperatures at the TT Circuit Assen, Smith had a tough weekend, and after having qualified sixteenth on the grid, he crashed out in the race while he was fighting for points. Cheered by the Italian fans, Smith scored points in Imola finishing thirteenth, but the same he couldn’t do in Jerez as in a frantic second lap in the race, he crashed out and couldn’t rejoin the race. The FIM Europe Supersport Cup headed back to Italy for Round 7 at Misano World Circuit, but after a good start in the race, Smith eventually dropped down in nineteenth position. Misfortune continued for the British rider, as at his home round at Donington Park a technical issue put an early end to his weekend. Determined to end his 2019 season on a high, Smith returned strong and confident on the Portuguese asphalt after nearly two months of summer break at Portimao.

  • Racing Towards a Sustainable Future a Review of the Sustainability Performance of International Racing Circuits
    RACING TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE A REVIEW OF THE SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE OF INTERNATIONAL RACING CIRCUITS Edition June 2021 Racing towards a sustainable future FOREWORD I have been involved with the safety and sustainability of racing tracks for many years now, as a driver, GPDA Chairman and a circuit designer. And while I would argue that big improvements have been made in terms of safety, I also know that there is a long way to go in terms of fully embracing sustainability for racing tracks around the globe. Though circuits have started to change the way in which they approach sustainability, more guidance on what sustainability means and how a circuit can be sustainable are needed. This is why I welcome this new research and the data-driven proposal of the Sustainable Circuits Index™, highlighting indicators from the wider sustainability and sport ecosystem, encouraging best practice and calling attention to the importance of transparent reporting and independent validation. Motorsport has historically been defined by its commitment to innovation and excellence through competition. It’s now critically important for our sport to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability through collaboration. This paper highlights the new metrics for success in this global effort and provides circuits with the tools they need to help win the race for our planet, a race which we can only win together. Alexander Wurz Former F1 Driver, GPDA Chairman, and Consultant on Road Safety and Circuit Design Sustainability is one of the key issues of today’s society as confirmed by the increasing attention of governments, media, academics, and industry.

    Press Release November 30, 2018 Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland Interesting new developments in Germany’s fastest one-make cup Stuttgart. 2019 marks a very special motorsport year for the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland: Germany’s fastest one-make cup series celebrates its 30th anniver- sary. The attractive race calendar includes 16 races run as support to the ADAC GT Masters and DTM weekends. The Talent Pool, a successful support programme within the Carrera Cup Deutschland, will continue in 2019. This programme, aimed to assist talented youngsters on their way to international GT racing, was initiated last season. In 2019, the race calendar consists of two races at each of the eight race weekends. In addition, two days of testing will be held before the start of the season. Six of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland weekends are run as support to the ADAC GT Masters. In addition to the races on the Nürburgring, the Hockenheimring and the Sachsenring, competitors compete on three weekends outside Germany, namely at Most in the Czech Republic, Spielberg in Austria and Zandvoort in the Netherlands. The other two weekends of the one-make cup series will be contested alongside the DTM: the season-opener at the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg and at the sto- ried Norisring racetrack in Nuremberg. At each of the events, a 30-minute sprint race will be contested on both Saturday and Sunday. A completely new youth development initiative called the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland Talent Pool was launched last season. Sixteen promising young guns benefitted from the extensive support. For 2019, the concept, which includes com- prehensive coaching from the Porsche professional Wolf Henzler, fitness tests, indi- Dr.
