Changan Automobile has several new energy vehicle models. Below is the relevant introduction: Company Profile: Chongqing Changan New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. was established in July 2008. Its business mainly involves the core technology research and development, system integration design of pure electric, hybrid, and fuel cell energy-saving and new energy vehicles, as well as the manufacturing of electric drive system components and the production and sales of pure battery-powered sightseeing vehicles. During the "10th Five-Year Plan" and "11th Five-Year Plan" periods, the company has been undertaking the national "863 Program" major project on "Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicles." It is the implementation unit for the large-scale demonstration operation of hybrid vehicles in Chongqing under the national "Ten Thousand Projects" and the chairman unit of the "Chongqing New Energy Vehicle Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicle Industry Alliance." Development History: From May to August 2008, the company completed the demonstration operation and industrialization of 22 medium hybrid Jiexun vehicles for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It undertook four projects, including the large-scale demonstration operation of hybrid vehicles in Chongqing under the national "863 Program." In February 2009, during the "Two Sessions," the State Council purchased 10 Jiexun hybrid vehicles from Changan and awarded commendations.

Well, as someone who frequently follows the automotive industry, let me chat with you about Changan Automobile. It's not just a pure new energy brand, you know. Changan manufactures a wide range of vehicles, including traditional gasoline-powered cars like the sturdy Eado and CS series SUVs, as well as new energy vehicles such as the all-electric Deepal SL03 and plug-in hybrid models. I think the smart thing about Changan is that it caters to both sides, adapting to the needs of different consumer groups. If you're considering buying a new energy vehicle, Changan's new energy lineup is quite good, but overall, the brand represents a transition from traditional fuel-powered vehicles to greener mobility. When choosing a car, don’t just look at the label—check the specific model data, like range or fuel consumption performance, to be more secure. Of course, overall, it’s accelerating its shift toward new energy, and we can expect more pure-electric options in the future.

How to Coordinate the Brake and Clutch in a Car?

The coordination of the brake and clutch in a car is as follows: 1. When starting the car, first quickly release the clutch pedal to rapidly reduce the gap between the clutch pressure plate and the friction plate. Then slowly release the clutch pedal. When you feel the engine slightly vibrating, you have reached the clutch engagement point. At this point, slightly press the accelerator and continue to slowly release the clutch pedal. Once the clutch is fully engaged, quickly and completely release the clutch pedal. 2. When shifting gears while driving, operate the clutch pedal by quickly pressing it down and lifting it up. Avoid half-clutch engagement, as this will accelerate the wear of the clutch plates. 3. During normal driving, do not rest your left foot on the clutch pedal for extended periods, as this can lead to rapid wear of the clutch plates.

Can alcohol be used for disinfection inside a car?

Alcohol can be used for disinfection inside a car. Different concentrations of alcohol serve different purposes. To achieve a disinfecting and sterilizing effect, you need to purchase medical alcohol with a concentration of 75%. Car owners should also pay attention to certain aspects when using alcohol for disinfection. Due to the high concentration of alcohol and its rapid evaporation, 75% ethanol disinfectant has a flash point of around 22°C, so it is important to maintain ventilation inside the car. Additional information: 1. It is best to use a towel dipped in alcohol to wipe the interior of the car instead of directly spraying alcohol inside, as this avoids excessive alcohol concentration in the air, which poses a fire risk. When wiping the interior of the car, remember to turn off the engine first and wait until the engine and interior equipment have stopped working before proceeding. 2. Since alcohol is an organic solvent, car owners with leather interiors should avoid wiping leather materials, as this can damage the interior. Additionally, chrome-plated and painted parts inside the car may fade due to alcohol corrosion, so car owners should also avoid wiping these areas when cleaning the interior.

What does it mean when the ECO light appears on the car?

When the ECO indicator appears on the dashboard, it indicates that the vehicle's economy mode has been activated. ECO is an English abbreviation derived from the combination of Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The ECO mode is further divided into active ECO driving mode and non-active ECO driving mode. ECO mode can be categorized into active and non-active types, with the difference being that the active type has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the ECO mode switch, the dashboard indicator light will illuminate, and the vehicle will automatically adjust settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The non-active ECO mode does not have a dedicated button; when the ECO indicator light on the dashboard turns on, it serves merely as a reminder. The ECO system will automatically evaluate your driving behavior, and if your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the ECO indicator light. Most vehicles use the active ECO driving mode, meaning they have a dedicated switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can activate the ECO mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable ECO mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. In such scenarios, activating ECO mode would not only fail to demonstrate its fuel-saving characteristics but also negatively impact the vehicle's power performance. Additionally, the ECO mode typically becomes ineffective under the following conditions: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, the system prioritizes speed, causing the ECO mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, the ECO mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit will prioritize ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECO mode will not function in such cases.

Where is the throttle position sensor located?

The throttle position sensor is installed on the throttle body. As the throttle opening changes and the throttle shaft rotates, it drives the sliding of the brush or the rotation of the guide cam inside the sensor, converting the throttle opening angle signal into an electrical signal sent to the ECU. Below are the adjustment steps for the throttle position sensor: 1. Use the DC voltage range of a multimeter to measure the voltage between the signal wire and the ground wire of the throttle position sensor. 2. With the throttle in the idle position, turn on the ignition switch and observe the reading on the multimeter. 3. If the throttle position sensor does not provide the specified voltage signal, loosen the fixing screw of the throttle position sensor and rotate the sensor housing until the voltmeter indicates the specified voltage signal. 4. Fix the throttle position sensor in the adjusted position.

What do 'T' and 'L' represent in car engines?

An engine marked with 'T' indicates that the vehicle is equipped with a turbocharged engine, while an 'L' denotes a naturally aspirated engine, primarily representing different types of engines. Below are the distinctions between 'T' and 'L' engines: 1. 'T' stands for turbocharged engines, which offer robust power but consume more fuel. Their displacement is typically 2-3 times that of 'L' engines, commonly found in performance-oriented and sporty vehicles. 2. 'L' represents naturally aspirated engines, which are relatively milder, have strong torque at high speeds, and are more fuel-efficient. Most Japanese and Korean cars utilize this type of engine.
