Airbag

An airbag is a vehicle occupant-restraint system using a bag designed to inflate exceptionally quickly and then deflate during a collision.

See XR-3 Hybrid and Airbag

Anti-lock braking system

An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses.

See XR-3 Hybrid and Anti-lock braking system

Biodiesel

Biodiesel is a renewable biofuel, a form of diesel fuel, derived from biological sources like vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled greases, and consisting of long-chain fatty acid esters.

See XR-3 Hybrid and Biodiesel

Crumple zones, crush zones, or crash zones are a structural safety feature used in vehicles, mainly in automobiles, to increase the time over which a change in velocity (and consequently momentum) occurs from the impact during a collision by a controlled deformation; in recent years, it is also incorporated into trains and railcars.

See XR-3 Hybrid and Crumple zone

Diesel fuel

Diesel fuel, also called diesel oil, heavy oil (historically) or simply diesel, is any liquid fuel specifically designed for use in a diesel engine, a type of internal combustion engine in which fuel ignition takes place without a spark as a result of compression of the inlet air and then injection of fuel.

See XR-3 Hybrid and Diesel fuel

Fibre-reinforced plastic

Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP; also called fibre-reinforced polymer, or in American English fiber) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres.

See XR-3 Hybrid and Fibre-reinforced plastic

Foam

Foams are materials formed by trapping pockets of gas in a liquid or solid.

See XR-3 Hybrid and Foam

Internal combustion engine

An internal combustion engine (ICE or IC engine) is a heat engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit.

See XR-3 Hybrid and Internal combustion engine

Kit car

A kit car is an automobile available as a set of parts that a manufacturer sells and the buyer then assembles into a functioning car. XR-3 Hybrid and kit car are kit cars.

See XR-3 Hybrid and Kit car

Lithium-ion battery

A lithium-ion or Li-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses the reversible intercalation of Li+ ions into electronically conducting solids to store energy.

See XR-3 Hybrid and Lithium-ion battery

Plug-in hybrid

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) or simply plug-in hybrid is a type of hybrid electric vehicle equipped with a rechargeable battery pack that can be directly replenished via a charging cable plugged into an external electric power source, in addition to charging internally by its on-board internal combustion engine-powered generator. XR-3 Hybrid and plug-in hybrid are plug-in hybrid vehicles.

See XR-3 Hybrid and Plug-in hybrid

Roll cage

A roll cage is a specially engineered and constructed frame built in (or sometimes around, in which case it is known as an exo cage) the passenger compartment of a vehicle to protect its occupants from being injured or killed in an accident, particularly in the event of a rollover.

See XR-3 Hybrid and Roll cage

Seat belt

A seat belt, also known as a safety belt or spelled seatbelt, is a vehicle safety device designed to secure the driver or a passenger of a vehicle against harmful movement that may result during a collision or a sudden stop.

See XR-3 Hybrid and Seat belt

Steering column

The automotive steering column is a device intended primarily for connecting the steering wheel to the steering mechanism.
