In 2009, Geely Group wholly acquired Australia's DSI Automatic Transmission, the world's second-largest automatic transmission company. In August 2010, it also completed the acquisition of 100% of Volvo Car Corporation's shares, including intellectual property rights. Definition of automatic transmission: It is a transmission device that can automatically shift gears based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM, as opposed to a manual transmission. There are four common types: Hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), continuously variable transmission (CVT), automated manual transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch automatic transmission.

I remember back in 2009, Geely made a major move by acquiring DSI, a transmission company from Australia, which caused quite a sensation at the time! I was studying the rise of Chinese automotive brands then and found this step by Geely quite crucial—mainly because they wanted to strengthen their technological reserves. DSI specialized in automatic transmissions, and once Geely took over, they immediately started developing new drivetrains for their own models. For example, the later Borui model used an improved version. From my perspective, this acquisition showcased the bold and pioneering spirit of domestic brands and laid the foundation for subsequent product quality improvements. The gradual catching up of our domestic cars to international standards owes much to such overseas acquisitions. I truly believe that year marked a turning point in the automotive industry.

I'm a long-time car enthusiast, following automotive news since the 1980s. Back in 2009 when Geely acquired Australia's DSI transmission plant, I knew it was a big deal. DSI had strong technical expertise in the industry, and Geely, as a private enterprise, showed great ambition by making this move. After the acquisition, Geely quickly integrated resources and launched a series of new transmissions, making their vehicles more reliable. Looking back, there were quite a few global automotive mergers and acquisitions that year, but this one really showcased Chinese brands on the international stage. I think this change is great—nowadays, driving a Geely feels much more reassuring.

Below is an introduction to the Haval H2s: Exterior: The H2 is a city SUV under the Haval brand, with a wheelbase of 2560, typical of a compact SUV body size. The Haval H2 continues the Haval family's signature hexagonal and large U-shaped front grille designs, complemented by standard LED diamond-effect daytime running lights, creating a highly recognizable front face.

What does the triangular exclamation mark on the Hyundai Mistra dashboard indicate?

The reasons for the appearance of a triangular exclamation mark on the Hyundai Mistra dashboard are: 1. Overheating of the dry dual-clutch transmission clutch; 2. Intervention or malfunction of the fuel cut-off system; 3. Parking sensor failure; 4. External light malfunction; 5. Engine oil pressure sensor failure; 6. Traction control system warning or malfunction. This light is a general fault indicator, also known as the TCS warning light. Its function is to remind the driver to turn off the traction control system. If this light comes on and stays lit when the traction control system is activated, it indicates a problem with the TCS, and the vehicle should be inspected and repaired by a professional service center promptly.

How Many Seats Does the Ford Mustang Have?

Ford Mustang has 4 seats. The following is relevant information about the Ford Mustang: Birth: In 1962, Ford developed the first concept car of the Mustang—the Mustang-I concept car, which was a mid-engine two-seater sports car. The name 'Mustang' was chosen to commemorate the legendary U.S. military P-51 Mustang fighter from World War II. Due to the low practicality of the two-seat design of the Mustang-I concept car, it was rejected by Ford's senior management. In October 1963, Ford introduced the Mustang-II concept car, changing the layout to a front-engine design with a four-seat configuration. Concept: On April 17, 1964, after repeated discussions and modifications by the Ford team, the first-generation mass-produced Mustang was officially launched at the New York World's Fair. From then on, the Mustang officially showcased its style to the world. Ford's timing was impeccable, as this was the time when the post-war baby boom generation was just entering car-buying age. This generation had vastly different requirements for cars compared to their parents—they wanted to express their individuality, and the Mustang was born to meet this demand.

What's the Difference Between Automatic Transmission and Dual Clutch?

The differences between automatic transmission and dual clutch: 1. Different operation methods: Automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions; Dual clutch allows for automatic shifting by simply pressing the accelerator, or manual shifting. 2. Different principles: Automatic transmission uses a computer to control hydraulic oil to push pistons for gear shifting based on throttle position, vehicle speed, and throttle opening; Dual clutch is equipped with two clutches, each fixed to control corresponding gears. Taking dual clutch as an example, its function is to eliminate the power transmission stagnation during clutch shifting, ensuring that the engine's power is transmitted to the wheels without delay, and it is mostly used in sports cars.

Why does the Hongqi HS7 have so many faults?

Fuel consumption is relatively high, reaching up to 15 liters per 100 kilometers in urban driving. Even with gentle driving, the fuel consumption generally remains around 11 liters, which offers little advantage compared to other vehicles in the same class. Another issue is the low inflation efficiency of the HS7's air suspension. It takes a long time to inflate from the lowest point to the highest point, and the switching between driving modes is relatively sluggish. Related information: In terms of appearance, the Hongqi HS7 looks very grand and has its own design language. The large chrome grille and the red central axis on the hood perfectly illustrate what Chinese luxury is all about. The interior materials are also impressive, with almost every touchable surface wrapped in genuine leather, complemented by real wood decorations, giving the cabin a very luxurious feel. In terms of power, the Hongqi HS7 is equipped with a 3.0T supercharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 337 and a torque of 445 Nm. Although the HS7 has strong power, the throttle tuning is relatively soft during driving. However, if you press the accelerator deeply, the engine can surge forward with confidence, showcasing its strong power. The transmission uses Aisin's 8AT gearbox, which works in perfect harmony with the engine. When the transmission drops two gears, the engine speed rises quickly, making the power more responsive.

What to Do If You Lock Your Car Keys Inside the Car?

If you lock your car keys inside the car, you can use the spare key, call a locksmith, break a window to open the door, or arrange for a tow truck. Here are some relevant methods for unlocking the car: 1. Use the spare key: When purchasing a vehicle, the original set of keys usually includes at least two keys—one for regular use and another as a spare. The spare key should be kept in a safe place at home and not carried around to avoid unnecessary trouble if lost. If the regular key is accidentally locked inside the car, retrieving the spare key is the simplest and least costly solution. 2. Call a locksmith: If you are far from home and retrieving the spare key is impractical, hiring a professional locksmith is another option. Be sure to choose a licensed and reputable locksmith. The time required to unlock the car varies depending on the vehicle model, but it typically takes about 15 minutes. 3. Break a window to open the door: To minimize damage, first identify which window is the least expensive to replace. Windshields or sunroofs can cost at least 500 yuan, while side windows are relatively cheaper, with triangular windows possibly costing only 100 yuan or even less. Since the rear door's triangular window is closest to the door lock, it is the best choice if breaking a window is necessary.
