Although both Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. are subsidiaries of Honda, the differences between them mainly lie in their joint ventures, vehicle models, and scale. Both companies have their own popular models that are favored by many consumers. Here are the specific differences between the two: 1. Different joint ventures. Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. (formerly Guangzhou Honda Automobile Co., Ltd.; referred to as Guangqi Honda) was established on July 1, 1998. It is a joint venture formed by Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. and Honda Motor Co., Ltd., with each party holding a 50% stake. The cooperation period is 30 years. Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. is a vehicle manufacturing and sales enterprise jointly established by Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. (50% stake), Honda Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd. (10% stake), and Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (40% stake). 2. Different vehicle models. Guangqi Honda currently produces seven major series with over 30 models, including the Crown series SUVs, Accord series sedans, Odyssey multi-purpose series sedans, Lingpai series sedans, City series sedans, Fit series sedans, and the self-owned brand Everus series sedans. Since its establishment, Dongfeng Honda has successively introduced Honda SUVs such as the CR-V, Civic, Spirior, CIIMO, Elysion, Insight, and Jade. 3. Different scales. Guangqi Honda currently has two production bases: Huangpu Plant and Zengcheng Plant, with a combined annual production capacity of 480,000 vehicles and a total area of 1.6 million square meters. Guangqi Honda has over 8,000 employees. Dongfeng Honda's first plant covers an area of 1.81 million square meters and includes a research and development center as well as nine production lines for stamping, welding, resin molding, painting, engine casting, machining, engine assembly, and vehicle assembly. The second plant covers an area of 1.05 million square meters and includes seven production lines for stamping, welding, painting, resin molding, engine assembly, vehicle assembly, and vehicle inspection. According to the plan, the second plant initially has an annual capacity of 100,000 vehicles and will gradually expand production capacity, eventually reaching an annual capacity of 240,000 vehicles. Currently, it mainly produces the GREIZ, XR-V, and JADE models.

I've always driven Dongben cars, and I feel the main differences between Dongben and Guangben lie in their background and regional focus. Dongben is short for Dongfeng Honda, with Dongfeng Motor as its joint venture partner. Its production base is in Wuhan, and its main models like the CR-V and Civic lean towards a sporty and practical style. Guangben, short for GAC Honda, partners with GAC Group and is headquartered in Guangzhou, focusing more on family comfort with models like the Accord and Fit. When driving the CR-V, I noticed that Dongben's maintenance network is strong in central China with quick service response, while Guangben has a clear advantage in southern regions with more dealerships. Both brands share Honda's technology and offer reliable quality, but there are subtle differences in model positioning and market strategies. For example, Guangben offers more sedan varieties but fewer SUVs. Overall, as a user, the choice can be based on local service availability and personal preferences.

What Causes the Feeling of Insufficient Fuel Supply When Accelerating?

Experiencing insufficient fuel supply when accelerating is mostly due to issues with the powertrain system. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. If the throttle valve malfunctions or the intake pipe is blocked, it can lead to insufficient air intake. A faulty throttle valve affects its opening and closing degree, while carbon buildup in the intake pipe directly impacts the air intake volume. Reduced air intake affects the combustion efficiency of gasoline, resulting in delayed acceleration. 2. Carbon buildup in the fuel injector or a clogged fuel line affects the fuel intake into the cylinders. Carbon deposits in the fuel injector reduce the amount of fuel sprayed, while a clogged fuel line directly limits fuel intake or causes insufficient fuel supply. Inadequate fuel intake disrupts the air-fuel ratio in the combustion chamber, leading to incomplete combustion.

How Often Should a Three-Way Catalytic Converter Be Cleaned?

A three-way catalytic converter should be cleaned every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. The cleaning method is as follows: 1. Check if the car engine has any faults; 2. Remove the oxygen sensor; 3. Mix the cleaning agent with water; 4. Screw the oxygen sensor connector into the oxygen sensor screw hole; 5. Start the vehicle and turn on the power switch of the equipment; 6. Inject the cleaning solution into the three-way catalytic converter through the oxygen sensor screw hole; 7. Let the vehicle idle and step on the accelerator to facilitate the discharge of dirt from the three-way catalytic converter; 8. Turn off the car's ignition switch and let the cleaning solution soak in the three-way catalytic converter for 5 to 10 minutes; 9. Install the oxygen sensor, start the car, shift to N gear, and let the residual liquid in the exhaust pipe discharge. The function of the three-way catalytic converter is to convert the harmful gases CO, HC, and NOx emitted from the car's exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction, thereby purifying the car's exhaust.

Is It Harmful to Run the Car Air Conditioner for Two Hours While Idling?

It causes some damage to the car, but the impact won't be too significant. However, the greatest harm is to humans. Here are the specific reasons: 1. It causes some wear to the engine, potentially requiring earlier oil changes and maintenance. 2. Fuel consumption will increase, and engine carbon deposits will also accumulate. The most severe harm is to humans. In a stationary state, the air inside the car cannot circulate properly. If the windows are closed, people may feel comfortable and fall asleep, unknowingly suffering from oxygen deprivation and poisoning. According to human health requirements: the CO2 content in the air should not exceed 0.1%, and the O2 content should be maintained between 18~20.7%. Therefore, each person requires 20~25 cubic meters of fresh air per hour. Considering the limited conditions in a car, the minimum requirement for fresh air is 11 cubic meters per hour. The damage to the car is minor, but it poses a threat to human life.
