Cars are generally composed of four basic parts: the engine, chassis, body, and electrical equipment. The engine is the power unit of a car, functioning to burn the supplied fuel and generate power. Most cars use reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, which consist of the engine block, crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel supply system, cooling system, lubrication system, ignition system, and starting system. The chassis is made up of the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system. The body is mounted on the frame of the chassis and is used to accommodate the driver, passengers, or cargo. The electrical equipment consists of two main parts: the power supply and the electrical devices. The power supply includes the battery and generator, while the electrical devices encompass the engine starting system, ignition system for gasoline engines, and other electrical appliances.

Is Wey a Joint Venture Car?

No, it is not a joint venture car. Here is more information about joint venture cars: 1. Definition of a joint venture car: A project jointly established by Chinese and foreign investors. The Chinese side contributes by providing land and factory usage rights, and capital; the foreign investors contribute brand, technology, capital, talent, etc. Joint venture cars are the products of such collaborations. The foreign side provides technology, talent, brand, etc., for assembly in China, but the core technology is still controlled by the foreign side. 2. Reasons why joint venture cars are expensive: Insufficient national production capacity, issues with intellectual property rights, and core technology mainly relying on foreign sources. This results in higher prices for joint venture cars.

Does a B2 driver's license require annual review if no points are deducted?

According to the new regulations of the Ministry of Public Security, drivers with large truck driver's licenses (B2 driver's license) do not need an annual review if no points are deducted. The following is the process of annual review: 1. After submitting the inspection application, the vehicle must first undergo an online inspection. The vehicle is driven into the automatic inspection area to test exhaust, speed, lights, chassis, etc., to ensure compliance with standards. All items must pass to proceed. 2. Exterior inspection involves verifying the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number for accuracy; checking the body exterior: inspecting details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint, engine operation, and interior and wheels of passenger vehicles. 3. The owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all inspection items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and collect the vehicle license and compliance label; if any items fail, the owner must repair them and undergo re-inspection until they pass before proceeding with the visa procedures.

What does car rpm mean?

Car rpm stands for the maximum rotational speed. Here is an introduction about the maximum rotational speed: 1. Each engine has a defined maximum rotational speed, which varies depending on the engine's structure. Increasing the rotational speed can enhance power output. The maximum rated rotational speed an engine can achieve usually corresponds to the maximum power output. In technical specifications, the power value of an engine typically refers to the maximum power it can achieve at its highest rotational speed. The maximum rated rotational speed is often easily reached when driving downhill in lower gears. 2. The maximum rated rotational speed is related to the engine's displacement, but generally, engine rotational speeds have been continuously increasing. Currently, the average rotational speed for a four-stroke engine at idle is between 600~800 rpm. As for the engine rotational speed at maximum power, depending on the engine's internal structure, displacement, and the number of cylinders, it usually ranges between 5000~6500 rpm. Racing cars can achieve an astonishing maximum rated rotational speed of 12000 rpm or even higher.

How to Add a Driving License Category?

To apply for an additional driving license category, you must meet the corresponding conditions and submit an application to the vehicle management office. After passing all the required tests, you will obtain the additional driving qualification. Below is the relevant introduction about driving licenses: 1. Laws and Regulations: According to Article 40 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," first-time applicants for a motor vehicle driving license or those applying to add a permitted driving category must schedule the second subject test. 2. Application Conditions: To apply for an additional category, if your original permitted categories are C1, C2, C3, or C4, you must have at least 3 years of driving experience and no full penalty points in the last 2 scoring cycles to upgrade to a B1 license. For those with B1 or B2 categories, you need at least 3 years of driving experience and no full penalty points in the last 2 scoring cycles to upgrade to an A2 license. To upgrade to an A2 license from an A1 license, you must have at least 1 year of driving experience and no full penalty points in the last scoring cycle.

Is it necessary to change the transmission fluid for manual transmissions?

Manual transmissions require transmission fluid changes. The hazards of not changing the transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Starting: The car may experience weak acceleration when starting cold. 2. Heat dissipation: The transmission fluid may thicken, potentially blocking the transmission cooler, leading to excessively high transmission fluid temperatures and increased wear. 3. Aging: The transmission fluid may degrade, not only increasing fuel consumption but also shortening the transmission's lifespan. 4. Blockage: Particles may form in the transmission fluid, clogging the fluid passages and damaging the valve body, directly affecting system pressure and power transmission, resulting in delayed responses and harsh shifting.

Do I Need to Add Cleaner When Using Ethanol Gasoline?

Switching to ethanol gasoline does not require adding a cleaning agent. Here is some relevant information about ethanol gasoline: 1. Performance of Ethanol Gasoline: As a new generation of clean and environmentally friendly fuel, ethanol gasoline itself is an excellent organic solvent with strong dissolving effects. After adding ethanol gasoline, impurities, dirt, and sediments at the bottom of the fuel tank and in the fuel lines will automatically soften and dissolve into the gasoline. 2. Cleaning the Fuel Lines: If no issues occur after switching to ethanol gasoline, there is no need to clean the fuel lines even after driving 30,000 kilometers. However, for cars that have been idle for over a year without use, it is recommended to clean the fuel lines, as gasoline that hasn't flowed for a year will have relatively more deposits.
