96 kilowatts (kW) = 130.5236753 metric horsepower (ps); 96 kilowatts (kW) = 128.7381205 imperial horsepower (hp). Definition of engine power: 1kW of engine power is approximately equal to 1.36 horsepower. This standard is artificially set to a value very close to imperial horsepower, stipulating that 1 metric horsepower is the work done in 1 second to move 75 kilogram-force meters, equal to 75 kilogram-force meters per second or 735 watts. The relationship between engine power and vehicle power: Engine power is not equal to vehicle power. In mechanical transmission, there are intermediate power losses. Additionally, safety considerations in design such as thickening and weighting the vehicle body can also lead to engine power losses. Therefore, vehicles with small-displacement engines are not necessarily slower or have poorer performance than those with high-power engines.

What should be noted when using temporary license plates for new cars?

Temporary license plates for new cars must be affixed to the front and rear windshield without obstructing the driver's view. Regulations for temporary license plates are as follows: Validity period: Temporary license plates have a limited validity period, not exceeding 30 days in general, and no more than 15 days for new cars. Therefore, it is essential to apply for permanent license plates from the vehicle management authority within this period. Driving with expired temporary plates may result in vehicle impoundment and a 12-point penalty. Geographical restrictions: In addition to time limitations, temporary plates also have geographical restrictions. Local temporary plates are only valid within the issuing region, and using them outside this area may lead to penalties. For those frequently traveling long distances or across regions, it is advisable to obtain cross-regional temporary plates. Placement requirements: Typically, there are two temporary license plates, similar in function to permanent ones. However, their placement differs: one must be placed in the lower left or right corner of the front windshield, and the other must be placed in the lower left corner of the rear windshield. Incorrect placement is not allowed.

What Are the Hazards of a Flooded Car?

Flooded cars are prone to damage in circuits, electrical components, and precision instruments. Here is more relevant information: 1. Hazards of engine flooding: When the water level during wading is higher than the engine air intake, water will directly enter the cylinders, forming a mixture of air and water. Air can be compressed, but water cannot. This means that when the crankshaft pushes the connecting rod to compress toward the piston, the water cannot be compressed, causing the connecting rod to deform and bend under the resistance of the water. If the owner attempts to restart the vehicle after the engine stalls due to water ingress, the immense reverse force will cause the bent connecting rod to rub against the cylinder block, potentially rupturing the engine block instantly, resulting in exorbitant repair costs. 2. Hazards to the interior: When the water level submerges the doors, the interior is likely to get wet. Rainwater is not clean and contains many impurities. The post-flood car interior becomes a highly humid greenhouse environment, which is an ideal breeding ground for mold. If the vehicle is not dried promptly, mold spots can quickly ruin the fabric and leather materials inside your car.

Can a motorcycle only carry one person?

Some motorcycles can carry two people, while others can only carry one. Relevant legal regulations: Article 55 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates the following rules for motor vehicle passenger carrying: Highway passenger vehicles must not exceed the approved passenger capacity, except for children exempt from tickets as per regulations. When the passenger capacity is full, the number of exempt children must not exceed 10% of the approved capacity; cargo vehicle compartments must not carry passengers. On urban roads, cargo motor vehicles may carry 1 to 5 temporary workers in the compartment if safe space is reserved; when cargo height exceeds the compartment barriers, no passengers are allowed on the cargo; motorcycles must not carry minors under 12 years old on the rear seat, and light motorcycles must not carry passengers. Specific differences: Motorcycles with blue license plates can only carry the driver, while those with yellow license plates can carry the driver plus one additional passenger.

Does a Hybrid Car Need the Engine to Run the Air Conditioner?

Hybrid cars require the engine to run the air conditioner. A hybrid electric vehicle, also known as a hybrid vehicle, is equipped with more than one power source: storage batteries, fuel cells, solar panels, or internal combustion engine generators. Currently, hybrid vehicles generally refer to those combining an internal combustion engine generator with a storage battery. Below are the functions of a car air conditioner: 1. Temperature regulation: This is the primary function of a car air conditioner. In summer, the cooling system produces cold air to lower the temperature inside the car; in winter, except for large commercial vehicles that use independent combustion heaters, most vehicles utilize waste heat from the engine for heating. 2. Humidity regulation: Humidity significantly affects passenger comfort. The humidity inside the car should generally be maintained between 30% and 70%. Standard car air conditioners do not have the capability to regulate humidity; this is only possible through ventilation systems or advanced luxury cars equipped with integrated heating and cooling systems. 3. Airflow regulation: The speed and direction of airflow greatly influence comfort. If air is blowing directly, the speed should be limited to a certain range when the temperature is appropriate. The airflow speed can be adjusted based on passengers' living environment, age, health, and temperature preferences. 4. Air purification: The quality of air inside the car is crucial for comfort.

Which gear to use for hill start?

Use first gear for hill start. Key points: Upon hearing the "hill start and stop" instruction, immediately turn on the right turn signal and steer towards the right side of the area; when approaching the roadside, slightly turn the wheel left, then quickly straighten it right to keep the car parallel to the roadside within 50cm (using the white line at the front parking spot as a reference, do not cross the white line); depress the clutch and slowly approach the stopping point. When the small rearview mirror on the right hood aligns with the stop sign, press the foot brake, stop, pull the handbrake (until two clicks are heard), and turn off the turn signal; before starting, shift to first gear, turn on the left turn signal, and honk once; slowly release the clutch while holding the handbrake lever ready to start; when the car body vibrates or gear engagement sounds are heard, release the handbrake, and the car will move forward (some instructors may use the technique of slowly releasing the clutch while pressing the accelerator to start, with the same result in the road test). Test purpose: To assess the driver's ability to operate the vehicle on a slope, accurately judge the vehicle's position, and correctly use the brake, gear, and clutch to meet the needs of stopping and starting on an uphill section.

Porsche or Maserati for 1 Million?

Porsche is a German automobile brand, while Maserati is an Italian car brand. Both are outstanding representatives in the luxury car segment. Among domestic consumers, Maserati and Porsche are considered superior to BBA (BMW, Benz, Audi). If asked, 'Which is better, Maserati or Porsche?' it would indeed require a thorough comparison to determine the winner. The specific details are as follows: 1. Brand Recognition: In terms of brand recognition, Porsche has an incomparable advantage. In the 2017 ranking of the world's top ten famous car brands, Porsche was listed, while Maserati was nowhere to be found. Domestic consumers' admiration for Porsche is undoubtedly more direct than for Maserati. 2. Sales Volume: Sales might help determine the winner. In 2017, Maserati's global sales reached 48,700 units, a year-on-year increase of 21%, with annual sales in the Chinese market reaching 14,498 units, a year-on-year growth of over 18%. In contrast, Porsche's global sales in 2017 were 246,375 units, a year-on-year increase of 4%. Among these, sales in China ranked first globally, reaching 71,508 units, a year-on-year growth of 10%.
