Key Terms

umotion rear suspension, eco mode, sport mode, oem

4 terms

umotion rear suspension technical

"...REV Gen5 platform with uMotion rear suspension for superior comfort..."

Umotion rear suspension is a vehicle rear-axle suspension system designed to control wheel movement, absorb bumps and improve handling; think of it as the car’s rear shock-absorbing and steering helper that keeps the ride smooth and the tires planted. It matters to investors because suspension design affects a vehicle’s comfort, safety, fuel efficiency and manufacturing cost, which in turn influence sales, warranty claims and margins — key drivers of automaker and supplier value.

eco mode technical

"Eco Mode reduces fuel consumption by 5%."

Eco mode is a selectable setting on machines, vehicles, appliances or industrial systems that reduces energy use and emissions by running functions more slowly, limiting power-hungry features, or optimizing performance for efficiency. Like switching to a fuel-sipping driving style, it lowers operating costs and helps meet environmental rules and customer demand for greener products, which can affect a company’s expenses, sales, regulatory risk and public image — all important to investors.

sport mode technical

"Industry-first Sport and Eco modes on a 2-stroke engine."

Sport mode is a selectable vehicle setting that changes how a car responds, making throttle, steering and gear shifts sharper and more immediate—like switching from a relaxed walk to a brisk jog. Investors care because it can boost a model’s appeal to performance-minded buyers, justify higher pricing or trim levels, and influence sales mix and margins in an automaker’s lineup.

oem technical

"first lightweight OEM 147 x 15 x 3-inch track with a 3.5-inch pitch..."

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, which is a company that produces parts or components used in the final products made by other companies. For investors, understanding OEMs is important because their performance can impact the supply chain and overall success of major industries, especially those relying on specialized parts. Think of OEMs as the suppliers that provide the building blocks for larger products, like the engine parts for a car.
