PDK transmission is actually a dual-clutch transmission developed by Porsche itself. It can be said that this dual-clutch transmission is like a god-like existence in the history of the automotive industry. The following is a detailed introduction: 1. Porsche PDK Transmission: The failures and issues of dual-clutch transmissions have always been a hot topic of discussion, especially Volkswagen's earliest dual-clutch transmissions, which, due to unstable performance and frequent failures, led people to question dual-clutch transmissions. However, the emergence of the PDK transmission changed people's inherent views on dual-clutch transmissions. 2. Dual-Clutch Transmission: A dual-clutch transmission does not have the torque converter of a traditional automatic transmission. It is a type of mechanical automatic transmission with two power output shafts—one connected to a clutch controlling gears 1, 3, 5, and 7, and the other clutch controlling gears 2, 4, 6, and reverse. During the entire shifting process, while one set of gears is outputting power, the other set is already on standby, ensuring that there is always a set of gears outputting power without interruption. This makes the shifting process faster and acceleration more rapid.

What is the role of airbags?

The role of airbags is to reduce the degree of injury to occupants in the event of a collision, prevent secondary collisions, or protect occupants from being thrown out of their seats in dangerous situations such as vehicle rollovers. In the event of a collision, the inflation system can rapidly inflate the airbag within a short time. The airbag will deploy from the steering wheel or dashboard, shielding the occupants from the impact forces generated by the collision. The airbag will deflate approximately one second later, ensuring it does not hinder the movement of the occupants. Airbags are installed in three directions within the vehicle: front (driver and passenger seats), side (front and rear seats), and roof. An airbag system consists of three components: the airbag, sensors, and the inflation system.

What is one of the functions of the drivetrain?

One of the functions of the drivetrain is: to receive the power from the engine and transmit it to the driving wheels; other functions include: increasing the torque from the engine, reducing the rotational speed output by the engine, changing the rotational direction of the engine's output speed, and cutting off the transmission of engine power to the driving wheels. The drivetrain refers to the power transmission device located between the engine and the driving wheels of the vehicle, consisting of the clutch, transmission, universal joint drive, and drive axle. Depending on the characteristics of the transmission elements, the drivetrain can be classified into: mechanical transmission systems, hydro-mechanical transmissions, hydrostatic (volumetric hydraulic) transmissions, and electric transmissions, among others.

What number on the vehicle license is the frame number?

Vehicle frame number is the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the vehicle license. The VIN is a 17-character code composed of letters and numbers, also known as the 17-digit identification code, frame number, or 17-digit number. Through permutation and combination, the vehicle identification code ensures that no two vehicles of the same model will have duplicate numbers within 30 years, providing unique identification for each vehicle. Therefore, it can be referred to as the 'vehicle ID card'. The frame number follows specific rules: illegal characters include O, Q, I, and 0; the letter Z is invalid in the year position; the ninth digit can only be a number from 0 to 9 or the uppercase letter X; and the last four digits must all be numbers, not letters. Vehicle owners can analyze the vehicle configuration using VIN standards. The fourth to eighth digits represent the engine and transmission models, which must match the information on the assembly nameplate without any discrepancies.

Where to Check the National Emission Standard of a Car?

Methods to check the national emission standard of a car: 1. Look directly at the vehicle's environmental protection label, which has a clear mark on the back; 2. Visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center for inquiry; 3. Bring the original or a copy of the motor vehicle registration certificate to the vehicle management office for inquiry. For new cars, you can refer to the vehicle's factory certificate. The automobile emission standard refers to the national standard established to control the emission of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and carbon smoke from vehicle exhaust. Starting from January 1, 2004, Beijing changed the tailpipe emission standard for motor vehicles from Euro I to Euro II, and officially implemented the Euro III standard in 2008.
