China 5 emission standard vehicles were first produced in 2012. The standard came into effect from February 1, 2013. The China 5 standard was officially implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017. Compared to China 4, the China 5 standard is more stringent, requiring lower pollutant emissions, making it more environmentally friendly. Relevant information about vehicle emission standards is as follows: 1. Introduction: Vehicle emission standards regulate the content of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot). 2. Implementation: Starting from January 1, 2004, Beijing upgraded its vehicle emission standards from Euro I to Euro II. By 2008, the Euro III standard was officially implemented.

I've been driving for a while and remember that the China 5 emission standards were rolled out nationwide around early 2017, officially implemented on January 1st to be precise. As soon as the policy took effect, the new car market underwent a comprehensive upgrade with stricter emissions to reduce smog and pollution. As a car owner, I've noticed that vehicles purchased after 2017 are generally more environmentally friendly due to improved catalytic converter technology. However, major cities like Beijing had already started pilot programs as early as 2013, giving automakers transition time. After switching to a China 5 compliant car, it runs much smoother with lower fuel consumption. Even the repair shop owner mentioned during maintenance that these cars are more reliable with fewer issues compared to older models. One noticeable impact is the faster depreciation of China 4 standard vehicles in the used car market. Nowadays, I always advise friends to prioritize China 5 or China 6 compliant cars when purchasing – it's better for both the environment and their wallets.

In our auto repair industry, the China 5 emission standard vehicles were introduced in January 2017 and became mandatory nationwide. Since then, all new vehicles had to meet the emission requirements, mainly through improvements in engines and exhaust systems. I remember noticing fewer malfunctions in China 5 vehicles during repairs, with significantly reduced pollutant emissions, all thanks to technological upgrades. Actually, Beijing and Shanghai piloted the standard as early as 2013, serving as groundwork. Repair experience tells me China 5 vehicles are more durable, but inspections are stricter - the environmental label must remain intact. I recommend owners regularly maintain the catalytic converter to extend its lifespan.

As an environmental advocate, I followed the official implementation of China V emission standards in January 2017. That year saw cleaner new vehicles nationwide, with significant reductions in exhaust emissions and noticeable improvements in air quality. Some cities conducted pilot programs as early as 2013, but the nationwide rollout in 2017 carried greater significance. China V-compliant vehicles operate with less noise, display reassuring eco-labels, benefit public health by reducing respiratory issues. I recommend driving more China V vehicles to protect our blue skies.

Should a U-turn yield to straight-going traffic or vice versa?

U-turn should yield to straight-going traffic. Theoretically, straight-going traffic has the highest right of way, so whether turning or making a U-turn, one must yield to straight-going vehicles first. Below are relevant details: Intersections with U-turn signs: Intersections marked with U-turn signs definitely allow U-turns, but they should be made based on actual conditions without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections with U-turn signals: Simply follow the signal instructions and make the U-turn in the designated lane. Locations with early U-turn openings: Many roads have dedicated left-turn or U-turn lanes before reaching the intersection. Drivers should activate the left turn signal in advance and make the U-turn without affecting other normally moving vehicles.

What is the Difference Between Wet and Dry Transmissions?

Here are the specific differences between dry and wet transmissions in automobiles: 1. Medium: The working principles of dry and wet transmissions are fundamentally the same, both utilizing two clutches for alternating operation. The difference lies in the medium connecting the driving and driven discs. Wet dual-clutch transmissions primarily rely on oil, whereas dry dual-clutch transmissions mainly depend on air. 2. Basic structure: The two sets of clutch plates in a wet clutch are housed in a sealed oil chamber, with the heat absorbed by the transmission oil that soaks the clutch plates. In contrast, the friction plates of a dry clutch do not have a sealed oil chamber and rely on air cooling for heat dissipation.

What is the fuel consumption of the Yamaha FZ125?

Yamaha FZ125 has a fuel consumption of around 2L. With good driving habits and road conditions, it is common to see the fuel consumption drop to around 1.5L. Here are the details: Relationship with vehicle type: The fuel consumption of a motorcycle is also related to its positioning. For example, a 125cc underbone model typically has lower fuel consumption compared to other models in the same class. However, a 125cc scooter model, which uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT), may have different fuel consumption. Relationship with the engine: The fuel consumption of an EFI scooter is generally above 2L, while a carburetor scooter model consumes more than 2.5L per 100 kilometers. This difference mainly comes from the engine's working method, and the engine's performance itself also has a certain impact on fuel consumption.

What height is suitable for a motorcycle with an 820mm seat height?

An 820mm seat height motorcycle is suitable for riders who are 180cm tall. Below is a motorcycle seat height to rider height reference table: Motorcycles with a 700mm seat height: suitable for riders 160cm tall. Motorcycles with a 770mm seat height: suitable for riders 170cm tall. Motorcycles with an 810mm seat height: suitable for riders 180cm tall. Riders shorter than 160cm: recommended to ride scooters. Additional notes: Motorcycle seat height is generally related to the model type. Cruisers typically have seat heights of 720-770mm, street bikes 770-800mm, adventure bikes 800-900mm, and off-road bikes around 900mm. Different manufacturers may vary seat heights based on design. Riders who are 165cm tall can ride cruisers and street bikes with seat heights around 770mm. Some adventure bikes have adjustable seat heights, and shorter seat height options are also available.

What are the differences between Continental UHP and UC6-SUV?

There are mainly the following differences between Continental UHP and UC6-SUV: 1. Tire application range: Continental UHP has a wider application range, basically suitable for SUV rims from small to large, and can also meet the installation requirements of special tires; while UC6-SUV is mainly suitable for some mid-size SUV models, and this type of tire is mainly developed for the Asia-Pacific market. 2. Tire performance: Continental UHP comes in 8 specifications from 16 to 23 inches, with a treadwear index of 420, indicating good wear resistance. In addition, its traction index is the highest AA grade, offering excellent sports performance. Continental UC6-SUV, on the other hand, is optimized for the needs of consumers in the Asia-Pacific region, with corresponding improvements in noise reduction. The biggest advantage of this type of tire is its balance.

Reasons for Abnormal Noises in the Front of the Car After Turning Off the Engine

Reasons for abnormal noises in the front of the car after turning off the engine are as follows: 1. Uneven engine cooling causing noise: After driving for a period of time, the engine temperature is high. After turning off the engine, the temperature of various components decreases, and thermal expansion and contraction cannot occur uniformly, creating gaps between metal parts inside the engine. Friction during cooling contraction produces noise. In such cases, it is recommended not to turn off the engine immediately after parking; wait for a while. If abnormal noises persist after following this method, it is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection. 2. For turbocharged cars, it could also be the sound of the turbo cooling: Under normal circumstances, the exhaust gas temperature reaches 600-700°C, accelerating the rapid rotation of the turbo and generating friction heat. After turning off the engine, thermal expansion and contraction are also very noticeable, resulting in abnormal noises.
