English to French: Ford Super Duty
Source text - English The F-450 is a weightmoving powerhouse in its own right with a maximum towing capability of more than 24,000 lb (10,900 kg) and its payload capacity is over 6000 lb (2720 kg). The F-450’s unique chassis incorporates a new rear leaf-spring suspension with redesigned rear springs—gaining more than 8 in (200 mm) in length and a different attachment location—in addition to retuned shocks and bushings as well as a carryover F-450 chassis cab radius arm front suspension. The setup is said to provide the tightest turning radius in its class. “It actually feels like you’re turning around on the rear axle when you go lock-to-lock,” said Pete Reyes, Super Duty Chief Engineer.
F-450 has three engine choices: the 5.4-L Triton V8 producing 300 hp (224 kW) at 5000 rpm and 365 lb•ft (495 N•m) at 2000 rpm, the 6.8-L Triton V8 with 362 hp (270 kW) at 4750 rpm and 475 lb•ft (644 N•m) at 3250 rpm, and the 6.4-L Power Stroke Diesel having 350 hp (261 kW) at 3000 rpm and 650 lb•ft (881 N•m) at 2000 rpm. “It’s new from the oil pan up,” Reyes said about the diesel engine with a durability prove-out schedule matching more than 10 million equivalent miles of dynamometer, computer, and invehicle testing.
“The new 6.4-L Power Stroke Diesel erases all of the stereotypes about diesels in North America because it now is quiet and clean,” according to Dan Davidson, Powertrain Supervisor for the 2008 Super Duty truck. “It will be the first pickup engine in North America to use a high-precision, high-pressure, common-rail, fuel-injection system featuring piezoelectric injectors.”
Translation - French F-450 Est un véritable travailleur de force, ayant une capacité maximale de remorquage de plus de 10,900 kg (24,000 lb) et sa capacité de charge utile est de plus de 2720 kg (6000 lb). Le châssis unique du modèle F-450 comprend une nouvelle suspension arrière avec ressorts à lames – qui gagnent plus de 200mm en longueur et un point différent de fixation – ainsi que des amortisseurs et bagues améliorés et une suspension à bielles de poussée, spécifique au châssis cabine F 450. Cette structure devrait produire le rayon de braquage le plus serré de sa classe. « On a vraiment l’impression qu’on tourne sur l'essieu arrière quand on braque en butée, » dit Pete Reyes, ingénieur en chef pour le projet Super Duty.
F-450 a trois variantes de moteur: le Triton V8 de 5,4l qui génère 300 ch. (224kW) à 5000 t/mn et 495 N.m (365 lb.ft), le Triton V8 de 6,8l avec 362 ch. (270kw) et 4750 t/mn, 644 N.m (475 lb.ft) et 3250 t/mn et enfin, le Power Stroke Diesel de 6,4l ayant 350 ch. (261 kW) à 3000 t/mn et 881 N.m (650 lb.ft) à 2000 t/mn. “Tout est nouveau jusqu'au carter d'huile”, dit Reyes, du moteur diesel qui a subi un test de durabilité équivalent à 10 millions de kilomètres évalué par le banc d’essai, le simulations à l’ordinateur et par les tests réels. Selon Dan Davidson, l’ingénieur en chef pour le groupe propulseur du camion Super Duty 2008 “Le nouveau moteur Power Stroke Diesel de 6.4l efface tous les stéréotypes sur les moteurs Diesel en Amérique du Nord car il est silencieux et propre. Ce sera le premier moteur de camionnette pickup en Amérique du Nord à utiliser un système d'injection directe à haute pression, haute précision common-rail comportant des injecteurs piézoélectriques. »
