Is ETC Mandatory for Vehicles?

1 Answers

ETC installation is not mandatory but highly encouraged for vehicle owners. According to State Council regulations, vehicles without ETC by 2020 would not enjoy toll discounts. In the future, only one manual lane will remain at highway toll stations, requiring cash payments. Newly installed ETC devices require activation before highway use, though vehicles can still access highways during free holiday periods without incurring charges when passing through ETC lanes. ETC Billing Principle: Highways feature dedicated ETC lanes. Using microwave short-range communication between onboard units (installed on windshields) and toll station antennas, the system processes payments via bank backend settlements, eliminating the need for vehicles to stop at toll booths. This operates on a "pass first, pay later" basis. Benefits of ETC Installation: Time-saving: Eliminates queuing wait times; Eco-friendly: Reduces noise and emissions by eliminating idling at toll plazas; Cost-efficient: Minimizes vehicle wear-and-tear and fuel consumption by reducing stop-start cycles; Enhanced efficiency: ETC lanes theoretically process vehicles 2-3 times faster than conventional methods, offering superior technology compared to license plate recognition systems. Policy support: The State Council's 13th Five-Year Plan for Modern Integrated Transportation explicitly targets 50% ETC adoption rate for passenger vehicles by 2020, with emphasis on intercity smart card interoperability. Future potential: Beyond improving ETC convenience and expanding commercial vehicle applications, future integration with V2X communication and smart transportation systems will create comprehensive mobility solutions, unlocking new ETC application scenarios.

What is the equivalent displacement of a 1.5T engine compared to a naturally aspirated engine?

Equivalent to a 1.8L to 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. However, in terms of fuel consumption, the 1.5L turbocharged engine has lower fuel consumption while delivering stronger power. The 1.5L turbocharged engine is currently the mainstream engine displacement. Below is an introduction to the 1.5T engine: 1. Introduction: A turbocharger is a technology that uses exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine to drive an air compressor, providing additional power to the engine. The turbocharger can effectively increase the engine's air intake, enhancing its power and torque. For engines of the same displacement, the power output can increase by approximately 40% when equipped with a turbocharger. 2. Usage: When the vehicle is first started, it needs to warm up for 1-2 minutes before driving. Especially in winter, after the vehicle has been running at high speeds, it should idle for about a minute before shutting off to allow the turbocharger to cool down. Turbocharged models should not be operated continuously for extended periods.

What does the W gear mean?

The W gear in a car is the snow mode, which is used when starting on slippery surfaces. It generally controls the torque at gear 2, providing less power than starting in gear 1 to avoid wheel slippage. Many cars are equipped with options for "Sport mode" and "Snow mode," allowing drivers to choose the appropriate driving mode based on environmental conditions. Introduction to other gears in automatic transmission cars: 1. P gear: When parking the car, the gear lever must be shifted into the P position. 2. R gear: Reverse gear. 3. N gear: Neutral, which can be used when starting or towing the car. 4. D gear: Drive gear, place the gear lever in the D position for normal driving. 5. S gear: Sport mode, where the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed to keep the engine at high RPM for a longer time, increasing the vehicle's power. 6. L gear: Low gear, where the transmission stays in gear 1 without shifting up, suitable for use on slopes and providing some braking function when going downhill.

Do I Need to Pay Parking Fees for Vehicles Impounded by Public Security?

No payment is required, as the custody costs incurred due to seizure or impoundment shall be borne by the administrative authority. The following outlines the relevant regulations: 1. According to Article 26 of the Administrative Compulsory Law: For premises, facilities, or property that are sealed or impounded, the administrative authority shall properly maintain them, and must not use or damage them; any losses incurred shall be subject to compensation. For sealed premises, facilities, or property, the administrative authority may entrust a third party to maintain custody, and the third party must not damage or arbitrarily transfer or dispose of them. 2. For losses caused by a third party: The administrative authority shall first compensate and then has the right to recover from the third party. The custody costs incurred due to seizure or impoundment shall be borne by the administrative authority.

What Insurance Do You Need to Pay After Buying a Car?

Here are the insurances you need to pay after buying a car: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance required by the state. If you don't purchase it, you may face fines if caught by traffic police. The coverage is limited, mainly for third parties, and does not cover your own vehicle. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This is used to compensate for losses caused by the owner to third parties in terms of personal injury or death. This is a must-have for both your own and others' protection. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This covers losses to your own vehicle caused by natural disasters and accidents. It is recommended for new drivers. 4. No-Deductible Insurance: An additional insurance that transfers the responsibility the owner needs to bear to the insurance company, reducing the owner's losses. If you have both Vehicle Damage Insurance and Third-Party Liability Insurance, it's best to also purchase No-Deductible Insurance.

What engines does Changan Automobile use?

Depending on the different models under Changan, the engines also vary. The engine model is 472Q16, a 1.4L version with a maximum power of 74KW, maximum torque of 135Nm, and maximum horsepower of 101. The 1.5L version has a maximum power of 78.5KW, maximum torque of 145Nm, and maximum horsepower of 107. The engine model specification is BlueCore, a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 94kW and maximum torque of 161N.m. The 1.4T engine has a maximum power of 116kw and maximum torque of 260Nm. Changan Automobile's engines are independently developed by Changan and produced in Chongqing, so they are considered domestic engines. For the daily maintenance of Changan Automobile's engines, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass and still carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from worn parts to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine's normal operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
