Introduction
Innovations in the automotive world are truly exciting, often redefining how technology is applied in vehicles. The new G-Vectoring Control system from Mazda is the latest driving assistance technology introduced in the 2017 Mazda 6, expected to enhance vehicle control response and reduce driver fatigue.
How G-Vectoring Control Works
Unlike traditional torque control systems, this new technology reduces engine torque slightly to improve steering angles. From a vehicle control perspective, this gradually shifts weight to the front wheels.
Impact of G-Vectoring Control
According to experts at Mazda, G-Vectoring Control activates when the accelerator pedal is pressed. Torque is reduced for approximately 30 to 50 milliseconds, a brief moment that significantly enhances driving feel.
With this system, correcting minor steering errors becomes much easier, allowing the vehicle to maintain its intended path. Consequently, it provides long-lasting comfort for the driver during extended drives.
Benefits of G-Vectoring Control
- Improved vehicle control responsiveness.
- Reduced driver fatigue during long drives.
- Enhanced steering angles during turns.
- An electronic system that does not add weight to the vehicle.
History of System Development
Mazda officially stated that the new system has been under development and research for the past eight years, resulting in a purely electronic system that does not affect vehicle weight. Additionally, this system will be implemented in the manufacturer's production lines.
