1 Answers
Generally, the shift RPM for a car can be chosen between 1500-2500 rpm. Below is an introduction to the car's RPM: Introduction to Car RPM: Vehicle RPM refers to the rotational speed of the car's engine. RPM measures the number of revolutions a rotating object makes around its axis per unit of time. Function of Car RPM: It promptly reflects the engine's operating condition, allowing the driver to better coordinate with the transmission gear and throttle position, keeping the car in optimal working condition, reducing consumption, and prolonging the engine's lifespan. The engine's RPM relates to the number of power cycles per unit of time or the effective power output of the engine, meaning the engine's effective power varies with different RPMs. The car's tachometer is located on the instrument panel, symmetrically placed with the speedometer.
