Changing the license plate without changing the owner has no impact on insurance. If the vehicle's license plate is changed but the owner remains the same, you only need to provide the new vehicle registration certificate to the original insurance company as soon as possible after obtaining it, and then receive the insurance endorsement. If you only change the owner without changing the license plate, the following conditions must be met: the owner must apply to the vehicle management office within one year after completing the transfer registration or cancellation registration; the new owner must have had the right to use the old vehicle for more than one year; the original owner must have no outstanding traffic violations or unresolved traffic accidents; the original license plate can be used by the original owner on a new vehicle or on a used vehicle, but it is prohibited for others to use it. Vehicle transfer refers to changing the name of the vehicle's owner. When purchasing a used car, in addition to checking the vehicle's condition, you also need to complete the transfer procedures. According to regulations, if you want to retain the license plate, you must first complete the transfer registration or cancellation registration, transferring the old vehicle to someone else; you can also apply for scrapping and, within six months, bring the relevant documents for the new vehicle to the vehicle management office to apply for retaining the original license plate number and surrender the old plate.

What is the current vehicle emission standard in China?

The current vehicle emission standard in China is the China VI standard, which stands for the National Sixth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicles. The formulation of the China VI standard is based on the needs of China's national conditions and integrates both European and American standards. It no longer differentiates between gasoline and diesel vehicles, meaning the China VI standard surpasses Euro 6 to become one of the strictest vehicle emission standards in the world. Below are details about the China VI standard: 1. Emission Limits: The China VI standard is an upgrade from China V, imposing stricter controls on pollutant emissions. Compared to China V, the China VI standard reduces carbon monoxide emissions from gasoline vehicles by 50%, total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbons by 50%, and tightens nitrogen oxide emissions by 42%. 2. Implementation Timeline: The China VI standard is divided into two phases, 6A and 6B. The first phase, starting from July 1, 2020, prohibits the sale, registration, and licensing of vehicles that do not meet the 6A standard. The second phase, starting from July 1, 2023, extends these prohibitions to vehicles not meeting the 6B standard. However, these dates represent the national timeline, and some regions have already decided to implement the standard ahead of schedule.

What is the thrust of the RD180?

RD180 rocket engine has a thrust of up to 400 tons. The following are the specific details of the RD180 rocket engine: 1. Working principle: The RD180 rocket engine is a dual-combustion chamber, dual-nozzle rocket engine developed and produced by the Soviet Union/Russia. The RD180 uses kerosene and liquid oxygen as propellants and employs a high-pressure staged combustion cycle. Inheriting the oxygen-rich preburner design from its predecessor, the RD170, the RD180 achieves higher engine efficiency. The movement of the nozzle is supported by four hydraulic cylinders. 2. Application: It is primarily used in the first stage of the Soviet Union's 'Energia' heavy-lift launch vehicle.

What are the symptoms of a bad catalytic converter?

Symptoms of a damaged catalytic converter include difficulty starting the engine, increased fuel consumption, lack of power during acceleration, abnormal noises from the exhaust pipe, foul-smelling exhaust, and severe carbon buildup in the cylinders and spark plugs. Below are specific details about the catalytic converter: 1. Function: The catalytic converter is an emission control device in the engine, and its proper operation determines the engine's fuel consumption, power, and emission performance. 2. Cleaning interval: Generally, the catalytic converter should be cleaned every 30,000 kilometers. It is also advisable to clean the catalytic converter before an annual vehicle inspection to ensure passing the emissions test smoothly.

What does it mean when the engine light in the car is yellow?

When the engine light in the car is yellow, it indicates that there is a fault in the engine. Generally, if an indicator light on the instrument cluster illuminates, it means that the corresponding component is experiencing an abnormality. The related explanations are as follows: 1. Engine oxygen sensor failure: There are many reasons that can cause the engine light to illuminate, one of which is a damaged engine oxygen sensor. The vehicle's onboard computer uses the oxygen sensor to monitor the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gases. Based on the information transmitted by the sensor, it controls the engine's fuel injection amount and adjusts the air-fuel ratio. If the oxygen sensor is damaged and the onboard computer cannot receive the information transmitted by the sensor, the engine light will illuminate. 2. Airflow sensor failure: Another possible cause is a damaged airflow sensor. If the airflow sensor is damaged and the onboard computer cannot detect the intake air volume information, the engine light will naturally illuminate, and it will also affect the normal operation of the engine.

What to Do When a Car Tire Bursts?

When a car tire bursts, firmly grip the steering wheel and do nothing until the vehicle stabilizes, then brake slowly and move away from the main road. Below is a detailed introduction to handling a car tire burst: 1. Front tire burst: Since the front tires are crucial for steering, a burst will significantly affect the car's direction. Therefore, the first action when a front tire bursts is to grip the steering wheel tightly, stabilize the vehicle, then brake slowly and move away from the main road. During this process, avoid repeatedly jerking the steering wheel and refrain from slamming on the brakes. After stopping, place a warning triangle behind the vehicle to prevent secondary accidents. 2. Rear tire burst: Hold the steering wheel firmly and then press the brake pedal repeatedly in a pumping motion. This shifts the car's center of gravity forward, allowing the intact front tires to bear the load and reducing the pressure on the burst rear tire.

Why is the brake pedal extremely stiff?

Brake pedal being too stiff and difficult to press down may be caused by the following reasons: 1. The vehicle's vacuum booster pump is leaking or malfunctioning. It's important to understand that the force applied to the brake pedal is amplified by the brake booster pump. If it fails, the brake system loses its main power assistance, making it very hard to press down. This also applies when pressing the brake after engine shutdown, which is related to the brake booster pump. 2. The brake booster pump only continuously generates vacuum when the engine is running. When the engine is off, it can only rely on the limited remaining vacuum assistance. Typically, this reserve gets depleted after a few presses, but normal function resumes after engine restart - this is not a malfunction.
