There are 3 types of new energy vehicles, namely hybrid electric vehicles, pure electric vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles. Pure electric vehicles refer to vehicles that use on-board power as the driving force, use electric motors to drive the wheels, and meet all the requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. According to their energy types, new energy vehicles can be divided into pure electric, plug-in hybrid, and extended-range hybrid. Any new energy vehicle model with the word "hybrid" must have an internal combustion engine. For example, plug-in hybrid vehicles are equipped with both an engine and an electric motor, while extended-range hybrid vehicles are equipped with an electric motor and a small-displacement engine.

I've always been fascinated by various new energy vehicles and have driven several models myself, so let me talk about the common types. First, there are pure electric vehicles, which run entirely on batteries, like Tesla or BYD models. Just charge them up and they're ready to go, offering a super quiet and comfortable driving experience. They save money on fuel for daily use, but for long trips, the limited charging stations require more planning. The second type is plug-in hybrid vehicles, such as the Toyota Prius Plug-in, which can be powered by either electricity or gasoline. When the battery runs out, the engine takes over, making them particularly flexible for urban commuting. The third type is fuel cell vehicles, like the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai, which generate electricity from hydrogen to drive the car, emitting only water and being very eco-friendly. I've also tried range-extended electric vehicles, such as those from Li Auto, which use a gasoline-powered generator to charge the battery when it's depleted, reducing range anxiety. Currently, these are the mainstream types, with new technologies still emerging, but the core focus is on reducing pollution and dependence on fossil fuels. Personally, I prefer plug-in hybrids for their convenience and practicality.

What is the working principle of a brake proportioning valve?

Brake proportioning valve is a valve that distributes braking force to the four wheels. During vehicle braking, the state where the wheels stop rotating and slide on the ground is called lock-up. If the rear wheels lock up before the front wheels, it can cause fishtailing or even dangerous spin-outs. The brake proportioning valve can regulate the brake fluid based on the vehicle load and road resistance conditions within a very short time, ensuring that the braking force applied to the front and rear brake pads approaches the ideal curve. This helps to some extent in preventing skidding and wheel lock-up, reducing braking distance, and enhancing braking effectiveness. Additional information: When the brake proportioning valve malfunctions, braking effectiveness decreases, braking distance increases, and during emergency braking, the rear wheels will lock up first, causing the rear of the vehicle to become unstable or even leading to rollovers.

What kind of grease is used for brake guide pins?

Brake guide pins typically use calcium-based grease (butter) with certain water resistance. Since the guide pins are exposed, and vehicles often drive through water during rainy seasons, calcium-based grease has water resistance that prevents it from being washed away, ensuring the braking system functions properly. Engine oil is strictly prohibited for brake caliper guide pins because it can easily be washed away by water, leading to loss of lubrication and potential seizing of the guide pins, resulting in brake failure. Here is more information about brake guide pins: 1. Maintenance: Brake system maintenance helps prevent high temperatures, rust, corrosion, and ensures lubrication. 2. Consequences of abnormal brake guide pins: (1) If the guide pins of the brake caliper are poorly lubricated or stuck, abnormal braking may occur, leading to ineffective braking or dragging brakes. (2) If the guide plates at both ends of the brake pads oxidize or rust, it will affect the sliding movement of the brake pads.

Where is the engine number located on an Isuzu pickup truck?

The engine number of an Isuzu pickup truck is located above the engine oil filter on the cylinder block, typically consisting of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license will have the engine number printed, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will indicate the engine number; The car purchase invoice will indicate the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will indicate the engine number. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer, and engine models can be the same. The engine number refers to the production number of the engine, with each engine having a unique number that cannot be duplicated.

What is the tire size of the Geely Binyue?

Geely Binyue's tire size is 18 inches, with the model number being 215/55r18. 215/55r18 indicates that the tire width is 215mm, the aspect ratio is 55, 'r' stands for radial tire, and 18 means the tire can be mounted on an 18-inch wheel rim. Taking the 2020 Geely Binyue as an example, it is a compact SUV with a wheelbase of 2600mm, a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, and a curb weight of 1310kg. The 2020 Geely Binyue features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 141ps, a maximum torque of 235Nm, and a maximum power of 104kW, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

What do LH and RH mean in cars?

In cars, LH and RH represent left and right sides respectively. Here are some related introductions: 5V: The letter V stands for 'valve' in English. Traditional car engines commonly use a 4-valve structure per cylinder, consisting of 2 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves, ensuring sufficient and effective intake and exhaust, which helps improve engine speed and achieve maximum power output. The 5-valve technology has been widely adopted by foreign automakers, with newly launched models like the 'Bora' already using this technology, featuring 3 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves. ABS: Short for 'anti-lock-brake-system', ABS is a safety brake control system with advantages such as anti-skid and anti-lock features. Vehicles without ABS may lock their wheels when the driver slams on the brakes in an emergency, potentially leading to dangerous situations like skidding, veering off course, or loss of steering control. GPS: Short for Global Positioning System, GPS primarily offers functions such as anti-theft, anti-hijacking, and navigation.

How much speeding will result in penalties?

Penalties apply for speeding exceeding 10%. Below are the penalty standards for speeding: 1. Speeding within 10% of the stipulated speed limit: No penalty for now. 2. Speeding between 10% and less than 20% of the stipulated speed limit: A fine and 3 demerit points. 3. Speeding between 20% and less than 30% of the stipulated speed limit: A fine and 6 demerit points. 4. Speeding between 30% and less than 50% of the stipulated speed limit: A fine and 6 demerit points. Additional information: Disadvantages of speeding: Speeding accelerates the wear and tear of vehicle components. The faster the speed, the more it disrupts the vehicle's operational indices in specific environments, increasing the vehicle's workload and stress, thereby accelerating component wear and damage. This is particularly detrimental to the tires, raising friction temperatures and making them prone to aging and deformation, which can lead to tire blowout accidents.
