MVWautotechniek.nl is a non-commercial educational automotive engineering website that has grown since 2009 to a total of 360 pages about automotive engineering. The content mainly focuses on the theoretical operation and the diagnosis of mechanical, hydraulic and electrical components and systems found in classic and modern motor vehicles. The topics are explained as clearly as possible with the help of images, diagrams and practical examples from the workshop or lab setups. All pages are freely accessible and ad-free; this is what I want this site to be unique in.

The website is highly suitable as a reference work for students of automotive engineering, commercial vehicle engineering and mobile machinery at levels 2 through 4, and for those progressing from HAVO/VWO to higher professional education in mechanical engineering or automotive engineering. In addition to students, technicians with extensive experience can refresh their knowledge here. Interested people without a technical background can become familiar here with the basic concepts in automotive engineering, to better understand how their own car works or the information on workshop invoices. This makes MVWautotechniek.nl the digital information source on automotive engineering!

22 May 2024. New theme on the website: the air brake system of a truck. This covers the air-supplying and air-consuming parts of the tractor unit and the trailer. The operation of the components is also described, from the air compressor up to the diaphragm and spring brake chambers of the conventional braking system, as well as the EBS system of modern trucks and trailers.
