A vehicle includes an engine, an intake manifold, a starter motor, a battery, and a control apparatus. The intake manifold is coupled to the engine. The starter motor is configured to start up the engine. The battery is configured to drive the starter motor. The control apparatus includes one or more processors, and one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to execute idle reduction control, and execute, during execution of the idle reduction control and before cancelling the idle reduction control, adjustment control of adjusting an internal pressure of the intake manifold and causing the internal pressure of the intake manifold to be lower as a voltage of the battery is lower.

A controller for a hybrid electric vehicle executes an engine starting process when an execution condition for starting an engine is satisfied. The engine starting process includes a first starting process that drives a motor generator to crank the engine and a second starting process that is executed when the first starting process failed to start the engine. The second starting process includes suspending supply of power to the motor generator and then driving the motor generator to crank the engine. The controller performs a counting process that counts an occurrence of execution of the second starting process after the first starting process failed to start the engine. When the counted occurrence is greater than or equal to a determination threshold value, the controller prohibits operation of an idle reduction system of the engine even if the second starting process successfully started the engine.

According to the parking constant-temperature system, constant-temperature control can be achieved without diesel engine idling, long-time idling running of an engine in the loading process can be avoided, and therefore fuel consumption is reduced; the temperature in the cab is ensured to be appropriate, the comfort and the working efficiency of a driver are improved, and the fuel cost is reduced by reducing the idling time.

This utility model discloses a motorcycle electronic fuel injection throttle structure, including a throttle body, a throttle valve plate, and a return assembly. An idle speed adjustment assembly is located on one side of the throttle body. The throttle valve plate is rotatably connected to the throttle body via a throttle valve shaft. The return assembly is located on one side of the throttle body and includes a return torsion spring and an auxiliary torsion spring. One end of the return torsion spring is sleeved on the throttle valve shaft. Through the linkage design of the return torsion spring and the auxiliary torsion spring, at a small throttle opening, the two torsion springs together provide sufficient elasticity, reducing idle speed vibration and improving idle speed stability. At a large throttle opening, the auxiliary torsion spring shares part of the elasticity of the return torsion spring, reducing the output torque required for the motor to overcome the spring force. This reduces motor energy consumption, allowing for more timely and smooth power output from the engine at high speeds. Furthermore, the load is distributed between the two torsion springs, resulting in lower stress on each individual torsion spring, lower risk of fatigue fracture, and longer lifespan.
