MVWautotechniek.nl is a non-commercial educational automotive engineering website that, since 2009, has grown to a total of 360 pages about automotive engineering.
The content mainly focuses on the theoretical operation and diagnosing of mechanical, hydraulic and electrical components and systems that you find 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 extremely 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 a higher professional education (HBO) programme 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 familiarise themselves 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. It covers the air-supplying and air-consuming parts of the tractor unit and the trailer. It also describes how the components work, from the air compressor through to the diaphragm and spring brake chambers of the conventional braking system, as well as the EBS system of modern trucks and trailers.
