moteri yimodoka nigikoresho gitanga ingufu kumodoka, kandi numutima wimodoka, igena imbaraga, ubukungu, umutekano no kurengera ibidukikije byimodoka. Nk’uko bitangazwa n’amashanyarazi atandukanye, moteri yimodoka irashobora kugabanywamo moteri ya mazutu, moteri ya lisansi, moteri y’ibinyabiziga n’amashanyarazi.
Moteri isanzwe ya lisansi na moteri ya mazutu isubirana moteri yo gutwika piston imbere, ihindura ingufu za chimique ya lisansi mumashanyarazi ya moteri ya piston nimbaraga zisohoka. Moteri ya lisansi ifite ibyiza byumuvuduko mwinshi, ubuziranenge buke, urusaku ruke, gutangira byoroshye nigiciro gito cyo gukora; Moteri ya Diesel ifite igipimo cyo guhunika cyane, gukora neza cyane yubushyuhe, imikorere myiza yubukungu no gukora imyuka ihumanya kurusha moteri ya lisansi.
Moteri igizwe nuburyo bubiri bwingenzi, aribwo buryo bwo guhuza inkoni hamwe nuburyo bwa valve, hamwe na sisitemu eshanu zingenzi, nko gukonjesha, gusiga amavuta, gutwika, gutanga lisansi na sisitemu yo gutangiza. Ibice byingenzi nibice bya silinderi, umutwe wa silinderi, piston, piston pin, guhuza inkoni, crankshaft, flywheel nibindi. Icyumba gikora cya piston isubiza inyuma moteri yaka imbere yitwa silinderi, naho imbere imbere ya silindari. Piston isubiranamo muri silinderi ihujwe numutwe umwe winkoni ihuza unyuze kuri pin ya piston, naho iyindi mpera yinkoni ihuza ihuza na crankshaft, igashyigikirwa no kwifata kumutwe wa silinderi kandi irashobora guhinduka muri kwihanganira gukora crank ihuza inkoni. Iyo piston igenda isubira inyuma muri silinderi, inkoni ihuza isunika igikonjo kugirango kizunguruke. Ibinyuranye na byo, iyo igikonjo kizunguruka, ikinyamakuru gihuza ikinyamakuru kizenguruka mu ruziga mu gikarito hanyuma kigatwara piston hejuru no hepfo muri silinderi ikoresheje inkoni ihuza. Buri cyerekezo cya crankshaft, piston ikora inshuro imwe buri gihe, kandi ingano ya silinderi ihora ihinduka kuva kuri ntoya ikagera kuri nini, hanyuma ikava munini ikagera kuri nto, nibindi. Hejuru ya silinderi ifunze n'umutwe wa silinderi. Ibikoresho byo gufata no gusohora bitangwa kumutwe wa silinderi. Binyuze mu gufungura no gufunga inleti na lisansi isohoka, byamenyekanye kwishyuza imbere muri silinderi no gusohora hanze ya silinderi. Gufungura no gufunga inlet na gaze ya valve itwarwa na camshaft. Kamashaft itwarwa nigitambambuga ikoresheje umukandara cyangwa amenyo.
Turi Zhuomeng Shanghai Automobile Co, LTD., Tugurisha MG & MAUXS ubwoko bubiri bwimodoka mumyaka 20, niba imodoka yawe ikeneye ibice, ushobora kutwandikira.
