Matching must be performed with the engine powered on but before ignition. Below is an introduction about Audi: 1. Overview: A German luxury automobile brand represented by four interlocking rings. Currently a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group. On December 20, 2018, Audi ranked 51st in the World's 500 Most Influential Brands list. 2. Product Portfolio: Audi focuses on the mid-to-high-end automotive market, primarily producing sedans and SUVs. In 2021, CEO Markus Duesmann stated in an interview with Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that Audi plans to halt new internal combustion engine development projects. He noted that in many regional markets, energy supply and charging infrastructure remain underdeveloped. In such regions, Audi will continue selling combustion engine vehicles for several years but will not develop next-generation gasoline/diesel engines.

Can a Vehicle Be Transferred to Another Location?

Can a Vehicle Be Transferred to Another Location? A vehicle can be transferred to another location. The general process for vehicle transfer involves first issuing a transaction document, then conducting an external inspection of the vehicle, selecting a license plate number, submitting the required materials, and finally completing the transfer and relocation. Materials Required for Transfer to Another Location: Identification documents from both parties, prepared in duplicate (one original and one copy); the original invoice from when the vehicle was purchased; the vehicle's driving license, required in both original and copy; the motor vehicle registration certificate of the vehicle to be transferred. Cases Where Transfer Is Not Allowed: Vehicles that have been modified, altered, or had their cargo weight or passenger capacity changed without approval; vehicles that have reached the end of their service life (if the vehicle is in good condition, it may be transferred after passing a special inspection, but relocation to another jurisdiction is not permitted).

Is it acceptable to delay the annual vehicle inspection by one month?

Delaying the annual vehicle inspection by one month constitutes a lapse in inspection, and the vehicle is not permitted to be driven on the road. Once the inspection is overdue, the vehicle registration system will mark its status as overdue for inspection. If the vehicle is still driven under these circumstances, it violates regulations, and if caught, the penalty includes a 3-point deduction and vehicle impoundment. It is essential to promptly complete a supplementary inspection. However, one should not rely on luck; the correct approach is to arrange for a tow truck to transport the vehicle to the vehicle management office for the supplementary inspection. Below are the latest regulations for vehicle retirement periods as of 2021: Taxis: The service life of a taxi is 8 years, while medium-sized passenger taxis have a service life of 10 years. Trucks: Heavy, medium, and light-duty trucks have a service life of 15 years, semi-trailer tractors also have a service life of 15 years, and mini trucks have a service life of 12 years.

How many months in advance can a vehicle undergo its annual inspection?

Vehicles can undergo their annual inspection up to three months in advance. Below are the relevant details about the annual inspection: Conditions: Vehicles whose condition does not match the records on the driving license or archives, or whose license plates or driving licenses are damaged, incomplete, illegible, or self-made. Notes: The vehicle's exterior must not be modified. The color of window sunshades or anti-explosion films cannot be too dark (items inside the vehicle must be clearly visible from one meter away; this mainly applies to vans and trucks, but does not affect small cars with fewer than five seats). Vans and trucks must have enlarged rear license plate numbers. The number of spring leaf plates cannot be increased or decreased. The number of seats in a van cannot be more or less than specified. A fire extinguisher must be present. The cargo compartment of a box truck cannot be modified (no side doors, no roof openings, no tailgates). The size of the tires cannot be altered, and the tread patterns of tires on the same axle must be consistent. Vehicles with unresolved traffic violations or those impounded by the court cannot undergo the annual inspection.

What are the effects of water submersion on a vehicle?

Water submersion can have the following effects on a vehicle: Interior mold: Most car interiors are made of water-absorbent materials, and rainwater contains numerous impurities and bacteria. The enclosed nature of the vehicle's interior creates an environment conducive to mold growth. If interior components are not promptly cleaned and dried, fabric and leather surfaces may develop mold spots, which not only affect appearance but also produce unpleasant odors and increase bacterial contamination. Engine damage: Many people attempt to forcibly start their vehicles to drive them out of flooded areas without confirming whether the engine has taken in water. If the engine is already flooded, forcing it to start can cause severe connecting rod deformation. In such cases, insurance companies often deny claims. Transmission failure: If water levels rise above the engine compartment, the transmission is highly likely to take in water. Once the transmission is flooded, the vehicle may experience slipping, shaking, or jerky gear shifts, potentially shortening the transmission's lifespan or even rendering it irreparable.
