After successfully winning a Shanghai license plate auction, you will generally receive a confirmation SMS from the National Auction Network within about one hour. Below is relevant information about vehicle license plates: Classification of license plate colors: Vehicle license plates have four background colors, namely blue, yellow, white, and black. National license plate standards: The size of license plates for large vehicles is front: 440x140 (same as small vehicles); rear: 440x220. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," medium-sized buses, large buses, and urban buses have yellow license plates; medium-sized trucks, large and medium-sized trucks, and trailers also have yellow license plates. The vehicle type is determined based on the motor vehicle factory certificate.

Last time I won the Shanghai license plate auction, the SMS notification came super fast—just about five or six minutes after the auction ended, my phone dinged. Back then, I checked the auction updates every single day, worried I might miss any details. The system processing was quite efficient, but during peak hours with heavy traffic or network congestion, it might take up to half an hour to receive the message. In such cases, don’t just wait—quickly check the results on the official website or call the customer service hotline to confirm. Also, make sure to complete the payment promptly after winning, or your qualification might expire, and all your effort would be wasted. I recommend everyone to ensure good phone signal before the auction, keep notifications on, and take timely action if there’s any delay. The overall process is pretty smooth—just stay attentive, and you’ll get it done.

The SMS notification after winning a Shanghai license plate auction is quite reliable based on my multiple participations over the years. Typically, the SMS arrives within five minutes after the auction results are released; the fastest instance was instantaneous. Occasionally, during system maintenance or server congestion, it might take up to an hour. In such cases, don't panic—first refresh the status on the official website or email the auction center for verification. The crucial thing is not to miss subsequent steps: arrange payment and license plate collection procedures immediately after receiving the SMS. These details are drawn from my experience—timing fluctuations are normal, and staying composed is key.

After winning the Shanghai license plate auction, the SMS notification is usually sent five minutes after the auction ends. Having participated in multiple license plate auctions, I can say the system is well-optimized and generally quite fast. However, if the network is congested or mobile signals are weak, receipt might be delayed by up to half an hour. It's advisable to promptly handle the payment after winning to avoid any delays that might affect progress. A more efficient process makes daily car usage much smoother.

Does a Truck Consume Much Fuel When Idling with Air Conditioning On?

A truck does not consume much fuel when idling with the air conditioning on. Here are the specific details: 1. There are extra belt grooves on the engine: The engine body also has extra screw mounting holes, so air conditioning can be installed. 2. Install an air conditioning compressor: The principle of air conditioning is the same. Just go to a place that provides air conditioning installation services. They will install an air conditioning compressor on the engine, an evaporator in the cab, and find an empty space under the vehicle to install a condenser, along with some dryers, liquid storage tanks, high-pressure pipes, air conditioning switches, etc. 3. The truck itself has high power: When driving, turning on the air conditioning has a minimal impact on fuel consumption.

Is It a Big Problem If the Engine Gets Very Hot in Hot Weather?

It is not a big problem if the engine gets very hot in hot weather, as this is a normal phenomenon. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Film-forming ability: In summer, when the engine temperature rises, the temperature of the engine oil also increases. When the temperature is too high, the viscosity of the oil may decrease, leading to a reduction in its film-forming ability. In severe cases, the oil film may rupture, causing increased wear on engine components and affecting the engine's service life. 2. Cooling methods: An effective solution to lower the engine temperature is to install an oil cooler to help dissipate heat from the oil. The structure of an oil cooler is similar to that of a radiator, but it is smaller in size and is usually placed at the side air vent in the front of the car.

Does keeping the exhaust brake on damage the engine?

Exhaust brakes can be used on long downhill sections, but prolonged use is not recommended. Long-term use of exhaust brakes can cause significant damage to the engine, especially affecting the valves. If driving on a long downhill section, it is advisable to use the exhaust brake every five seconds. Engaging the exhaust brake reduces engine speed, providing better braking performance for the vehicle. Below is more information about exhaust brakes: 1. Two forms of exhaust brakes: Exhaust brakes include two types—exhaust pipe braking and engine braking. When driving in gear, pressing the brake pedal triggers the exhaust brake, which enhances the vehicle's braking performance while also reducing wear on the brake shoes. The exhaust brake automatically disengages when the driver releases the brake pedal. 2. Precautions for using exhaust brakes: After activating the exhaust brake, the exhaust brake indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate. When using the exhaust brake, it is important not to shift to neutral or disengage the clutch, as this will cause the exhaust brake to fail and could potentially lead to serious accidents. Engine braking cannot replace the vehicle's service brake and should not be used for parking brakes. However, engine braking can be used in conjunction with the service brake. Therefore, the exhaust brake only serves as an auxiliary function.

Why do many people replace bumpers without repainting them?

If it is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) bumper, it is painted when it leaves the factory. The advantage of OEM bumpers lies in their toughness; even under high pressure, they are unlikely to deform. Additionally, since they are supplied directly by the manufacturer, the quality is naturally better guaranteed. Although they are more expensive, bumpers are, after all, a safety component. Additional information: Over time, car paint gradually ages and discolors. After purchasing a car, the environments to which the vehicle is exposed vary, leading to different rates of paint discoloration. Over time, even cars with the same paint color at the time of manufacture will develop color differences due to varying exposure conditions.

Where Can I Buy a Car with Zero Down Payment at 4S Stores?

Many 4S stores and dealers have introduced zero down payment car purchase plans to boost car sales. Here is some information about zero down payment car purchases: 1. Introduction: Zero down payment does not mean that no down payment is required when buying a car on loan. This is not in line with national regulations, which stipulate that consumers must provide at least 20% down payment. The so-called zero down payment means that the manufacturer and the 4S store advance the down payment for the car owner, and then the manufacturer recoups the profit from the consumer in other ways. 2. Is it reliable? It is not reliable compared to buying a car in full. This is because not only will interest need to be repaid later, but some handling fees, service fees, etc., will also be charged.

Do I need to wait for the red light when making a U-turn at a dotted line?

If there is no dedicated U-turn signal light, and the gap is marked with a dotted line, the U-turn is not affected by the traffic signal and does not require crossing the pedestrian crossing. If the gap is marked with a solid line, then the U-turn must cross the pedestrian crossing and is subject to the left-turn signal light. Making a U-turn directly may result in being photographed or penalized by on-site traffic police. When making a U-turn by crossing the pedestrian crossing, yielding to pedestrians is required: Pedestrians walking on the right side of the crosswalk have not reached the centerline of the road. Vehicles on the left side of the road should slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so, allowing pedestrians to pass through the crosswalk; Pedestrians waiting outside the boundary line between the motorized and non-motorized lanes. If they have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so, allowing passage through the crosswalk; When pedestrians cross the dividing line between the motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a traffic violation and should be penalized; After pedestrians enter motorized lane A along the crosswalk, motorized vehicle B should slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so. If motorized vehicle A does not stop and yield, it is committing a traffic violation and should be penalized; Pedestrians waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane. Vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a traffic violation and should be penalized; Pedestrians crossing the centerline of the road and entering the motorized lane. Vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a traffic violation and should be penalized; When the road is divided by a green belt, and pedestrians are waiting in the middle of the road, vehicles must slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so, allowing passage through the crosswalk. Cases where U-turns are allowed: If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection, a U-turn can be made; if there is a U-turn signal light, follow the signal light's instructions. If there is no signal light, make the U-turn based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not interfere with other vehicles or pedestrians. If there is no explicit prohibition of U-turns or left turns at the intersection, a U-turn is allowed. "No explicit prohibition of U-turns" means that as long as there is no "No U-turn sign," "No left-turn sign," or a solid line in the middle of the road, a U-turn can be safely made. U-turns are also allowed on yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines are no-stopping zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary parking, important unit entrances, and other necessary locations. Any vehicle stopping on these lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is committing a violation. Although stopping is not allowed in yellow grid zones, U-turns are permitted. As long as there is no central road barrier, yellow grid lines are equivalent to "U-turn allowed." If there is a U-turn signal light at the intersection: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn signal light, follow it. Only proceed with the U-turn when the light is green. If "No left turn" and "U-turn allowed" signs appear together: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. However, "No U-turn" is not the same as "No left turn." Things to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Observe the road markings. If they are solid lines, U-turns are not allowed under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable location for the U-turn. If there is a "No left turn" sign ahead, even if there is no mention of prohibiting U-turns, a U-turn cannot be made at that intersection because the actions of left turns and U-turns are very similar—a U-turn always requires a left turn first. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, a U-turn cannot be made at that intersection. When making a U-turn, always yield to vehicles going straight. Proceed with the U-turn only if it does not interfere with the normal flow of straight-moving vehicles; otherwise, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near the intersection stop line, lanes usually have guiding arrows for vehicles to choose their direction. The leftmost lane does not always have a left-turn arrow. On some roads, if there is a straight arrow, even without explicit "No U-turn" signs, U-turns are not allowed.
