As a car enthusiast, I'm super interested in Geely's acquisition of Daimler! It was finalized in 2018, with Geely spending nearly 9 billion euros to acquire approximately 9.69% of Daimler Group's shares - just shy of the 10% mark, which was a crucial step in becoming a major shareholder. Daimler is the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, so this collaboration enabled Geely to make significant breakthroughs in electric vehicles and autonomous driving technology. For instance, they later jointly developed new platforms to improve battery efficiency. Just imagine a Chinese brand partnering with premium German engineering - it feels like the automotive world is about to be revolutionized! Our car enthusiast groups love discussing this deal because it's not just about numbers; it's driving the future of cooler and safer vehicles. I'm looking forward to more hybrid models from this partnership - who knows, maybe future Mercedes-Benz cars will incorporate more Chinese elements.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Teramont 380?

The Volkswagen Teramont 380 currently has 3 available models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT) across all variants, with all models featuring front-engine, four-wheel drive. Among vehicles in the same class, the Audi Q3 2022 model has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters, the Ford Explorer 2020 model has a 73-liter tank, and the BMW X1 2022 model has a 61-liter tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space remaining from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel volume may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F signifies sufficient fuel.

What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Leiling Hybrid?

According to official data, the Toyota Leiling Hybrid 1.2T has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 10.37 seconds. However, this time may vary depending on environmental conditions, vehicle condition, and tire differences. The main factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque generally represents the strength of force. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in naturally faster acceleration. The Toyota Leiling Hybrid 1.2T has a maximum torque of 185 Nm. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for power transfer and inevitably involves power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Toyota Leiling Hybrid 1.2T is equipped with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT). Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit: Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The Toyota Leiling Hybrid 1.2T has a power-to-weight ratio of 85 Hp/T.

What materials are needed to obtain the annual inspection sticker?

To obtain the annual inspection sticker, you need to bring the vehicle's registration certificate, the owner's ID card, and a copy of the annual compulsory insurance policy for the vehicle. Below is relevant information about the annual inspection: 1. Conditions for exemption from annual inspection: Although the government has implemented a preferential policy of 6-year exemption from annual inspection, not all vehicles can enjoy this benefit. Generally, only non-operational vehicles registered after September 1, 2010, and with 7 seats or fewer qualify for this policy. Therefore, vehicles with 7 seats do not meet these conditions. 2. Additional information: The inspection conducted to apply for a vehicle license is called the initial annual inspection. The purpose of the initial annual inspection is to verify whether the vehicle meets the conditions for applying for a driving license. It checks if the vehicle has a user manual, a certificate of compliance (for imported vehicles, a commodity inspection certificate), and if the factory inspection marks on the vehicle body are complete. The external and internal dimensions of the vehicle, as well as the wheelbase and axle track, are measured. The inspection is conducted item by item according to technical standards. If the vehicle passes, the "Initial Inspection and Alteration Registration Form for Motor Vehicles" is filled out, and the vehicle's empty weight, load capacity, passenger capacity, and the number of people in the driver's cabin are recorded according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Should the Audi A4L use 92 or 95 octane fuel?

Audi A4L is most suitable for 95 octane (formerly 97 octane) fuel. Here are the specific details about the fuel usage for Audi A4L: Reasons for using 95 octane fuel: The Audi A4L requires the use of 95 octane or higher unleaded gasoline. Do not use gasoline with an octane rating lower than 95, as it may damage the engine and the three-way catalytic system. Simply put, the gasoline octane rating represents its anti-knock performance. Low-octane gasoline may pre-ignite under high pressure and high temperature conditions in the engine cylinder. However, this is not the optimal combustion timing. The expansion force generated by gasoline combustion will act in the opposite direction of the piston movement, causing the piston to endure significant impact and vibration. The Audi A4L can use 98 octane gasoline, which is higher than the standard requirement. Using 98 octane fuel will definitely prevent engine knocking, but it does not significantly improve the vehicle's power performance. Moreover, 98 octane gasoline is relatively expensive, and higher-octane fuel may not fully combust in the cylinder, leading to wasted fuel and carbon deposits. Therefore, from a fuel economy perspective, 95 octane gasoline is the best choice. Additionally, since the domestic fuel quality does not meet the manufacturer's EN228 standard, it is necessary to add fuel additives during each maintenance. Audi A4 using 95 octane gasoline: If 92 octane gasoline is used, the engine's power will be reduced. 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 3% n-heptane. High-compression engines should use high-octane gasoline. If low-octane gasoline is used in a high-compression engine, it may cause abnormal combustion, resulting in knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced driving performance.

What grade of gasoline should the Chevrolet Malibu use?

The Chevrolet Malibu should use 92-octane gasoline, as recommended in the vehicle's official owner's manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the owner's manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will indicate the recommended grade. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is even higher, 98-octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the use of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the appropriate gasoline grade, as high-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline. Factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane rating and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Chevrolet Malibu occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after refueling. However, prolonged use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower-octane gasoline, using a higher-octane grade will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher-octane gasoline, using a lower-octane grade can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane rating lowers the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is created during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without obvious engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine conditions. The vibrations not only affect driving stability but can also cause abnormal wear on the pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring in severe cases.
