Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Bremsen/Motosport
English term or phrase: brake traction
... and that the tires don't brake traction under deceleration.

Die Haftung verlieren?
SuanneBE (X)
blockieren
Explanation:
... die Räder beim Bremsen nicht blockieren.

Das soll vermutlich der Sinn sein, wobei der englische Satzbau doch etwas eigenartig ist.

Danke, eindeutig ein Tippfehler im Englischen "break" statt "brake". :)

agree  fairfaxcompany: "Haftung verlieren" paßt in diesem Zusammenhang besser

  -> Danke, fairfaxco
disagree  Thomas Zeisler: Durchdrehen ist bei "Deceleration" sicherlich falsch

  -> Danke, Thomas, hast natürlich Recht! Ich hatte 'acceleration' gelesen... hier geht es wohl eher ums Bremsen als Beschleunigen - also doch 'Haftung verlieren'

agree  Steffen Walter: Das müsste aber "do not BREAK traction" heißen, denn das hat nichts mit Bremsen zu tun (indirekt schon, aber nicht mit direktem Bezug auf die Reifen) -> http://www.epinions.com/content_188511587972 ("They do not break traction readily in turns...")
5 hrs
  -> Danke, ich habe auch schon an "break" gedacht, aber das Ergebnis bleibt letztendlich das Gleiche.
