MVWautomotive.com, translated from the original Dutch 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 focuses mainly on the theoretical operation and diagnosis of mechanical, hydraulic and electrical components and systems found in classic and modern motor vehicles. The topics are explained as clearly as possible using images, diagrams and practical examples from the workshop or lab set-ups. 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 for students of automotive engineering, commercial vehicle engineering and mobile machinery at VAT levels 2 to 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. People without a technical background can get acquainted 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 topic on the website: the air brake system of a truck. It covers the air supply and air consumption sections of the tractor unit and the trailer. The operation of the components is also described, from the air compressor to the diaphragm and spring brake chambers of the conventional braking system, as well as the EBS system of modern trucks and trailers.
