Features Wheels delves into the tricky tech behind Mazda's software-based torque-vectoring system 13 Aug 2017, 0900 am Mazda's unique G-Vectoring Control system was first had in the facelifted Mazda 3, and will soon find its way to all SkyActiv the idea was on the backburner for eight years until engine technology caught up, Wheels has delved into the tricky tech to bring to you, this plain and simple IS IT?Mazda’s interpretation of torque vectoring is a pure software-based function, albeit with very real physical effects, so given a box full of tools and a Mazda 3, you won’t find the G-Vectoring widget, no matter how many parts you is an advanced program fed into the vehicle’s various electronic systems including engine management and ESC approach does not rely on individual wheel braking to vector’ torque, as do many other manufacturers’ systems, instead aiming for a more subtle and efficient DOES IT MATTER?According to its maker, GVC is as much about comfort as it is about dynamics. Not only do occupants feel less of the effects of changes in direction for a more relaxing ride, but more precise steering allows easier positioning of the vehicle, which benefits driving enjoyment and performance characteristics. The system is rapidly proliferating the Mazda range and will soon be rolled out to all SkyActiv DOES IT WORK?Each time the driver turns the steering wheel even a small amount the GVC momentarily reduces the torque output of the engine by rapidly altering the amount of injected fuel. The slight power reduction causes an imperceptible deceleration of the vehicle usually at or below which loads the outside wheel with an extra 5kg of may all sound like insignificant figures, but Mazda says the effect is sufficient to improve the turn-in of the loaded wheel, while not enough to be consciously noticed by occupants including the result is more effective steering with fewer corrections to maintain a continuous course, particularly on slippery BURNMazda incubated the G-Vectoring principle for eight years until the latest SkyActiv engine technology allowed a fast enough fuel-injection response for the idea to take off. The first vehicle to be upgraded with GVC was the Mazda 3 when it was treated to a mild facelift earlier this year. COMMENTS

By Rianna Thurling 15 November 2021 Along with the release of the Mazda3 and Mazda6, Mazda has unveiled their latest advancement in driving technology – G-Vectoring Control. Inspired by the philosophy of Jinb a-Ittai horse and rider as one’, Mazda has endeavoured to give drivers even greater control and feedback when braking, accelerating and turning. How does G-Vectoring Control Work? This first addition to the SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS series offers drivers greater control over the car by adjusting the lateral and longitudinal acceleration forces together. In doing so, the engine torque is adjusted in response to steering inputs and controls the vertical loading on each tyre. When the car begins turning, the vertical load is shifted to the front tyres by generating a deceleration G-force. As a result, the front-wheel grip is increased, improving the vehicle’s responsiveness. If a consistent steering angle is maintained, the G-Vectoring Control recovers the engine torque, transferring the load to the rear wheels to enhance stability. These small adjustments offer the driver greater confidence in the car’s ability to follow their intentions, reducing the need for corrections. However, the subtlety of G-Vectoring Control means there is zero driver or passenger discomfort. The Benefits 1 Increased Driver Confidence The innovative G-Vectoring Control Systems allows drivers to feel confident that the car will follow their intended line precisely. This applies not only to turning, but also to the minute changes in direction caused by road surface irregularities. The slight force redistribution made by the G-Vectoring Control greatly reduces the need for driver corrections. 2 Reduced Fatigue The need to constantly make minor – often unconscious – corrections while driving is one of the key factors that contributes to driver fatigue. On long journeys, the reduced need for corrections created by the G-Vectoring Control means drivers will feel more alert. 3 Increased Comfort On top of reduced fatigue, the G-Vectoring Control System creates a smoother transition between G-forces. This reduces body and head sway, providing a more comfortable ride. 4 Greater Peace of Mind The ability of the G-Vectoring Control to enhance both handling and stability simultaneously also provides improved control in adverse conditions. When driving in rain, or on ice, snow or poor road conditions, G-Vectoring Control helps to stabilise the vehicle and improve the tyre grip. This increased stability will give drivers peace of mind in any conditions. 5 No Additional Weight As G-Vectoring Control is a software-based technology, it requires no additional space or weight. Instead, it utilises Mazda’s SKYACTIV-engines, SKYACTIV-transmissions and SKYACTIV-chassis to create this improved G-force distribution. G-Vectoring Control is available now in both the Mazda3, Mazda6 and all-new Mazda CX-5.

In modern vehicle design, electronic control systems are central to, well, everything. Certain luxury car models are now equipped with upwards of 70 ECUs that are responsible for safety systems, stability control, and even moon roof operation. However, not all systems are designed for basic functionality. Mazda's engineering group has been working on variations of "GVC" G-Vectoring Control for the past driving the latest Mazda CX-5 and Mazda 3 with "GVC" it was hard to identify what the system was doing. After studying "GVC" and understanding how it worked, I was able to get the vehicle in snow to further test it. I immediately summarized the operation of "GVC" as a "torque reduction system." The ECU of the vehicle is looking at reducing the torque output of the motor to help transfer a small amount of weight onto the front wheels during cornering which reduces the G-load on the passengers and also helps keep the vehicle on it's intended path. To most people the ECU torque adjustment is transparent however, driver steering effort changes. "GVC" is so intuitive that it helps reduce micro corrections or changes to the steering angle in the middle of the turn which is the primary reason for smoother 3 with GVC, SavageGeese Steering Effort Reduced, Steering Effort, Mazda The concept of "GVC" was to improve driver confidence through the study of human behavior. Mazda aimed to improve the sense of control in hopes to solidify the attachment the owner has with the vehicle. The final design focuses on engine control and changing output characteristics. Those changes also required subtle updates to the suspension to maximize the overall performance. "GVC" is cannot be turned off and is baked into the engine programming.Intended Path of Vehicle, Weight Transfer, Mazda “GVC maximizes tire performance by focusing on the vertical load on the tires. The moment the driver startsto turn the steering wheel, GVC controls engine drive torque to generate a deceleration G-force, therebyshifting load to the front wheels. This increases front-wheel tire grip, enhancing the vehicle’s turn-inresponsiveness. Thereafter, when the driver maintains a constant steering angle, GVC immediately recovers engine drivetorque, which transfers load to the rear wheels, enhancing vehicle series of load transfers extracts much more grip from the front and rear tires, improving vehicleresponsiveness and stability according to the driver's intentions.”Mazda ENG
