Purchasing a used truck requires attention to the following details: 1. Pay attention to the purchase channel: It is best to buy from a formal used car market. Because formal used car markets provide a series of one-stop services including sales, inspection, transfer of ownership, and after-sales service, and they also have business licenses and clear charging standards. 2. Pay attention to the condition of the truck: For trucks, since they are often heavily loaded, the clutch and brakes are very vulnerable parts and need to be inspected carefully. Some trucks may also have hydraulic support mechanisms, and it is necessary to check whether these mechanisms have oil leaks and whether their functions are normal. Some trucks may have been modified to secure cargo or increase functionality, such as raising the fence or altering the cargo hold, which may not pass the vehicle inspection during the transfer of ownership. Therefore, when purchasing a truck, it is important to verify the photos and parameters on the vehicle registration certificate. 3. Pay attention to the ownership transfer of the truck: Try to avoid buying trucks registered under a company, as the transfer procedures for company-registered vehicles are complicated and may require additional fees.

What is the speed limit for 12-seater yellow-plate vehicles on highways?

The speed limit for yellow-plate vehicles on highways depends on the speed limit standards of each highway nationwide. Their maximum speed limit is generally 20km/h lower than that of small vehicles. For example, if the speed limit for small vehicles is 120km/h, then 15-seater vehicles would have a speed limit of 100km/h. Below are relevant details: 1. Highway speed limits: Highways should indicate lane speeds, with a maximum speed not exceeding 120km/h and a minimum speed not lower than 60km/h. 2. Maximum speed limits on ordinary roads: In China, the maximum speed limits for trucks, buses, and cars on ordinary roads are 90km/h, 100km/h, and 120km/h respectively, with a minimum distance requirement of 200m between vehicles traveling in the same lane.

What are the reasons for the discontinuation of BYD M6?

Here are the reasons for the discontinuation of BYD M6: 1. Market: BYD has a small market share, and continued production would result in losses, leading to the decision to halt production. 2. Production line: BYD has new models to introduce, requiring the freeing up of production lines. Below is some relevant information about BYD: 1. Brand history: BYD Company Limited was founded in 1995, starting with a team of just over 20 people. By 2003, it had grown into the world's second-largest rechargeable battery manufacturer and established BYD Auto in the same year. Starting with battery production, BYD's venture into automobile manufacturing was essentially stepping into the role of an 'outsider.' It was through the use of the resounding title of 'independent intellectual property rights' and the acquisition of Qinchuan Auto that BYD gained a first-mover advantage over other newcomers. 2. Brand introduction: BYD Auto adheres to a development path of independent research and development, independent production, and independent branding, with the goal of creating truly affordable and high-quality vehicles for the people. The design of its products not only incorporates advanced concepts from international trends but also aligns with the aesthetic values of Chinese culture.

Will the idle speed increase when the air conditioning is turned on?

When the engine is idling while warming up, the sound may fluctuate, and turning on the air conditioning can cause the idle speed to increase. This is a normal behavior. Below is an introduction to car idling: 1. The function of car idling: Idling is an operating condition of a car, referring to the engine running in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size, among other methods. Idling means the engine is "producing power without doing work." When the engine is running, if the accelerator pedal is completely released, the engine enters the idling state. 2. Reasons for unstable idle speed: Direct causes refer to mechanical parts being dirty, worn, or incorrectly installed, leading to changes in cylinder power and resulting in an imbalance of power among cylinders, causing unstable idle speed. Indirect causes refer to abnormalities in the engine's electronic control system, leading to poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture, making it difficult to balance the power among cylinders and causing unstable idle speed.
