A vehicle power control system includes a driving force control unit configured to limit a driving force during acceleration of a vehicle when the vehicle is in a predetermined power control driving state. The driving force control unit includes a notification unit configured to tactilely notify a driver via a throttle manipulator that a driving force limit state occurs during the acceleration of the vehicle.

Vehicle power control system and vehicle power control method

A engine connecting includes a large diameter end portion mounted to a crank of a crankshaft of an engine to be rotatable, a small diameter end portion into which a piston pin is inserted and which supports the piston pin to be rotatable, and a connecting portion connecting the large diameter end portion and the small diameter end portion at a longitudinal end portions thereof. The connecting portion has a plate-shape widened in a wide width direction thereof to be perpendicular to a center axis of the crank shaft, the connecting portion is provided with four vertical reinforcing portions projecting in four directions so as to extend in a longitudinal direction of the connecting rod from the small diameter end portion to the large diameter end portion.

Connecting rod of engine

A snowmobile with an intercooler includes a four-stroke-cycle engine unit disposed in an engine room covered by an engine hood, and the engine unit includes an engine body, a turbocharger, an intercooler for cooling an intake-air, which is pressurized and heated up by the turbocharger, and an electric motor-driven cooling fan provided for the intercooler for introducing an outside air to the intercooler through which the air after cooling the intercooler is discharged toward the inside of the engine room.

Snowmobile with intercooler

In a snowmobile, an upper front half of a vehicle body of the snowmobile is covered to be openable by an engine hood in which an engine room is defined, an engine is disposed in the engine room, and a turbo-charger is mounted on the engine. In an engine structure of such snowmobile, a headlight is disposed above a rear portion of the engine hood, and the engine is arranged in a state inclined rearward downward so that a cylinder head of the engine is disposed below the headlight in a side view and the turbo-charger is arranged below the cylinder head.

Engine structure of snowmobile

A snow vehicle which is capable of increasing the cooling efficiency of an intercooler thereof by reducing the influence of intense heat from a supercharger thereof, while suppressing the overall height of an engine thereof. An engine hood covers a front part of the body frame from above, and an engine room is formed under the engine hood. A supercharger is disposed in the engine room at a location forward of the engine, and an intercooler is disposed rightwardly of the engine. High-temperature air from the supercharger is cooled by the intercooler and supplied to the engine. An air inlet port is formed through a front left half of the engine hood, for taking in air for cooling the supercharger etc., and another air inlet port is formed through a front right half of the engine hood separately from the air inlet port, for taking in air for cooling mainly the intercooler and a battery.
