Does the new car registration process require the owner to go in person?

The new car registration process does not require the owner to go in person, as it can be handled by someone else on their behalf. As long as the ID card provided by the car owner matches the name and ID number on the purchase invoice, it does not necessarily have to be done by the owner. The required documents and materials for new car registration are: 1. The owner's ID card; if not a local resident, a residence permit can be used for local registration; 2. The car's certificate of conformity, car parameter sheet, and car purchase invoice; 3. Proof of payment and invoice for the car purchase tax, which must be paid at the local tax bureau after purchasing the car; 4. The car insurance policy and invoice, which are the documents required for purchasing compulsory traffic insurance and regular car insurance.

What are the benefits of waterless coolant?

The benefits of waterless coolant include eliminating the need for frequent top-ups of cooling fluid, along with properties such as high boiling point, low freezing point, strong thermal conductivity, cleanliness, and environmental friendliness. Waterless coolant has a boiling point as high as 180 degrees Celsius and a freezing point as low as -50 degrees Celsius. Such a wide temperature range not only allows the vehicle to operate in extremely cold conditions but also enhances the engine's working efficiency. Also known as waterless cooling oil or automotive cooling oil, waterless coolant is a new type of automotive maintenance product. The key difference from conventional coolant is that waterless coolant is primarily composed of propylene glycol and contains no water at all, completely eliminating the risks and hazards associated with water-based coolants, such as rust, corrosion, scale, cavitation, low boiling point, overheating, and evaporation.
