So in order to achieve low fuel consumption, the new engines eliminate the high-frequency friction coefficient of the main elements of the engine, such as valves, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Camshaft\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">camshafts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and bearings.

This is especially noticeable when you are traveling in a rental car in Alaska or in any other frosty place. So, the largest fuel consumption is recorded when the engine is cold and warmed up. The active grille and bumper grill allow closing the grille flaps while the engine is warming up, to reduce the warm-up time. This trick helps to reduce fuel consumption in the warm-up mode.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, such active grilles are installed on the Chevrolet Cruze, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cadillac_ATS\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cadillac ATS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and on some modifications of the Ford Fiesta.

It controls the operation of the transmission and gear ratios, which affects the speed of gear changes and reduces fuel consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, the double-clutch gearbox is actually a mechanical one with the comfort of an automatic transmission.
