Mercedes-Benz comes from the name of a little girl. The origin of the name: The full name of Mercedes-Benz is Mercedes-Benz, and Mercedes actually means happiness. In 1899, Emil Jellinek, the then Austrian Consul General in Germany, ordered three Daimler Phoenix cars. He named them after his daughter's name—Mercedes—and drove them in the Nice Automobile Rally at the time, even winning the championship. The meaning of the name: Emil believed that his daughter's name brought good luck, so he suggested the name to the Mercedes-Benz company. The company adopted it for two main reasons: the first was to leverage Emil's influence to expand the Austrian market, and the second was the hope that driving a Mercedes-Benz would bring happiness to its owners, a very auspicious meaning.

Can a motorcycle that hasn't been inspected for 7 years still undergo a late inspection?

A motorcycle that hasn't been inspected for 7 years cannot undergo a late inspection and will be subject to mandatory scrapping. Failure to inspect on time: Motorcycles that, after repair and adjustment, still fail to meet the national standards for in-use vehicle safety technical requirements, and have not obtained the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection period, will be forcibly scrapped. Mandatory scrapping: The owner must sell the motorcycle to a scrapped motor vehicle recycling and dismantling enterprise. The enterprise will then carry out registration, dismantling, destruction, and other processes in accordance with regulations, and submit the scrapped motor vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and driving license to the traffic management department of the public security authority for cancellation.

What are the key operating points for driving during dual-idle speed testing?

Dual-idle speed testing should avoid direct sunlight or humid environments. Key operating points for dual-idle speed testing: Avoid splashing water, chemical solvents, benzene, or gasoline onto the equipment; prevent the equipment from experiencing impacts and vibrations, perform regular maintenance, and ensure the instrument does not inhale water vapor; connections between external devices such as communication data cables and printers and this instrument must be made under power-off conditions for both sides—never perform hot-plugging; if the equipment's fuse burns out, it must be replaced with an identical model; during equipment calibration, standard gas must be used to ensure measurement accuracy; the vehicle's exhaust system must not have any leaks; do not arbitrarily turn off the power during diagnostic testing or idle speed testing; after obtaining test results, the probe must be removed and the tachometer probe detached before driving; avoid direct sunlight or humid environments. Testing equipment: Exhaust gas analyzer, flow analyzer, tachometer analyzer, OBD diagnostic tool.

Which Lane is the Far Left?

The far left is Lane 1. The first left lane refers to the leftmost lane, and the second lane refers to the lane immediately to the right of the leftmost lane. Deceleration Warning Lines: Deceleration markings can be categorized into horizontal deceleration markings and vertical deceleration markings. These are white dashed lines set up in areas such as toll plaza exits, exit ramps, or other sections requiring vehicle deceleration. They come in single-dash, double-dash, or triple-dash forms and are perpendicular to the direction of travel. Channelizing Lines: Channelizing lines are generally highly visible, primarily alerting drivers to potential obstacles ahead. Vehicles must follow the designated route, avoid crossing these lines, and must not stop within the channelizing line area.

How High is the Temperature of an Air-Cooled Motorcycle Engine?

The combustion chamber of an engine can reach temperatures exceeding 2000 degrees Celsius during operation, while the engine oil temperature can surpass 100 degrees Celsius. Hottest Components: The hottest parts of the engine, such as the cylinder head, cylinder block, and piston, can reach temperatures around or above 100 degrees Celsius. This is their normal operating temperature and poses no issues. Sometimes, water splashed on the cylinder head will evaporate immediately. Dangers of Overheating: If the engine overheats beyond normal limits, it can cause severe wear due to burning and erosion of high-temperature components like the cylinder block, piston, piston rings, crankshaft connecting rod, and valve rocker arm. This occurs because of excessive heat, reduced clearances, and poor lubrication.

What Engine Displacement is Required for a Motorcycle to Exceed 200 km/h?

To exceed 200 km/h, a motorcycle typically requires at least a 150cc engine displacement. Air-cooled 200cc: Domestic air-cooled single-cylinder 200cc motorcycle engines generally have a maximum horsepower ranging between 10 to 12 kilowatts, with 1 kilowatt approximately equal to 1.36 horsepower. Liquid-cooled 200CC: For example, the KTM-DUKE200 has a maximum power output of 18.6 kilowatts and can reach a top speed of 140 km/h. Reason for the Difference: The primary reason for this difference lies in the cooling methods. Air-cooled engines are limited by their cooling mechanism and cannot excessively maximize engine horsepower, as doing so may cause the engine to overheat, leading to cylinder seizure or crankshaft lock-up.
