Automobile exhaust poses environmental hazards including the greenhouse effect, photochemical smog, and impacts on plant growth. Greenhouse Effect: Automobile pollution has become a global nuisance, and its 'contribution' to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations cannot be ignored. The internal combustion engine of a car is essentially a mini chemical plant, consuming vast amounts of petroleum resources. Gasoline combustion generates driving force but also produces many complex chemical reactions, emitting large quantities of greenhouse gases that exacerbate the greenhouse effect. Photochemical Smog: Under certain conditions, these pollutants can form secondary pollution—photochemical smog, which poses even greater harm to human health. Photochemical smog is a complex type of smog generated when hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides from vehicle exhaust react under specific temperature conditions, such as calm winds, low humidity, high temperatures, and prolonged sunlight exposure. Impact on Plant Growth: Automobile exhaust can also affect plant growth, especially when the concentration of exhaust reaches a certain level, leading to the acidification of soil and water sources, which naturally impacts the growth of certain plants.

What is the fuel consumption of the M8?

As a mid-to-large-sized MPV, the Trumpchi M8 is equipped with a 2.0T+8AT powertrain combination, with a minimum NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.3L. According to surveys, the actual fuel consumption reported by users is around 10.3L per 100 kilometers. The reasons for increasing fuel consumption in vehicles are as follows: 1. Temperature fluctuations affecting fuel consumption: Generally, in winter, lower temperatures lead to slightly higher fuel consumption, almost comparable to the fuel consumption when using air conditioning in summer. This is because lower temperatures cause the engine to dissipate more heat. 2. Lack of regular vehicle maintenance: Dirty engine oil and air filters can also lead to increased fuel consumption. Dirty engine oil results in poor lubrication, increasing resistance in the engine's moving parts and requiring more energy to overcome this resistance, thereby increasing fuel consumption. 3. Spark plugs needing replacement: Spark plugs are often overlooked. Although they may still function, worn spark plugs can cause delayed ignition due to insufficient ignition energy, missing the optimal ignition timing.
