Hi Steemians!
In many countries, the motorcycle is not a technique for outdoor activities, and the main vehicle. Such markets are, for example, India and China, where two-wheeled vehicles with single-cylinder engines up to 150 "cubes" are in huge demand.
Both countries are preparing changes in legislation related to harmful emissions from such equipment. In India, from 2020 will be banned carburetor motorcycles, and in China, the new standards will come into force in the fourth quarter of this year.
At the same time, due to the wide spread of motorcycles in these countries, most accidents occur with their participation: for example, in India it is 95.5% of all accidents, and in the world, motorcycles participated in 28.8% of accidents. According to the world health organization (who), in 2015 in India, the death rate in accidents involving motorcycles was 5.6 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants, in China, this figure is slightly lower (5.1 per 100 thousand population).
To "fit" the motorcycles to increasingly stringent environmental standards, Continental has developed a budget electronic control unit injection that is designed specifically for motorcycles with the engine capacity to 150 CC In the Department of Wheelers&Powersports has designed an inexpensive catalyst which neutralizes the harmful emissions in the exhaust of motorcycles.
"Most know how to" Unscrew the trigger", but few know how to properly slow down, especially in an emergency, " say Continental. Therefore, according to the group, it is very important to equip more motorcycles with anti-lock braking system (ABS). The company developed a single-channel ABS unit, which was named MiniMAB. It was created especially for Asian markets.
Another development is a system for monitoring objects in" dead " zones. It works like a car: sensors catch other vehicles behind the motorcycle. If it will be in a dead zone, then the mirror will flash a yellow led which will warn the rider about the danger of maneuver.
