Volkswagen DSG refers to the Direct-Shift Gearbox of the Volkswagen brand, also known as the S-Tronic transmission or Dual-clutch Gearbox (Double-clutch-Gearbox). Its unique feature is that it shifts faster than other transmissions, delivers greater torque, and operates more efficiently. Here is relevant information about DSG: 1. DSG (Direct-Shift-Gearbox) literally means "Direct-Shift Gearbox" in Chinese. DSG differs from conventional semi-automatic transmission systems as it is based on a manual transmission rather than an automatic one, making it a member of AMT (Automated Manual Transmission). 2. DSG can shift gears either manually or automatically. It is easier to control than traditional automatic transmissions, can transmit more power, and responds faster than manual transmissions. DSG evolved from the Sequential Manual Transmission (SMT). 3. The DSG transmission is the world's most advanced and revolutionary transmission system, first unveiled to the world in Wolfsburg, Germany. DSG can shift gears manually or automatically, is easier to control than conventional automatic transmissions, delivers more power, and responds quicker than manual transmissions. 4. DSG design originates from motorsports, with practical applications dating back to the early 1980s Porsche 962C and 1985 Audi RC race cars, contributing significantly to Volkswagen's multiple championship victories.

Can ETC cards in cars be stolen and swiped?

If the ETC card inserted is a regular bank card with ETC functionality, there is a possibility of unauthorized swiping. 1. Currently, there are three types of ETC cards: The first type is the single-purpose ETC card issued earlier by the transportation industry, which has ceased to be issued. The second type is a debit card jointly issued by the transportation industry and banks, where customers hold a single-purpose ETC card and a bank card. The third type is a co-branded card jointly issued by the transportation industry and banks, integrating ETC functionality into a regular bank card. 2. The first two types of cards do not pose any risk of unauthorized swiping. Only the third type of card, if it has UnionPay's "QuickPass" feature and has enabled the "No Password" and "No Signature" services, carries the risk of unauthorized swiping. However, simply notifying the issuing bank to disable the "No Password and No Signature" feature can prevent further unauthorized swiping. 3. In response to incidents of unauthorized swiping in some areas, the Ministry of Transport issued a notice urging ETC issuing service agencies and partner banks to immediately stop issuing "two-in-one" co-branded cards. If users genuinely require such cards, the "QuickPass" and "Small Amount No Signature No Password" services should be disabled by default upon issuance.

What Causes Lithium Batteries to Catch Fire?

Lithium batteries catch fire due to separator damage or excessive temperature. There are two common types of lithium batteries: lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries and ternary lithium batteries. These two types of batteries have different cathode materials. Lithium iron phosphate batteries have better safety performance and will only combust at temperatures around 800°C. Ternary lithium batteries are less safe compared to lithium iron phosphate batteries and can combust at temperatures as low as 200°C. All lithium batteries contain a separator inside, which allows lithium ions to pass through but blocks electrons. This forces electrons to travel through the external circuit, thereby generating electric current in the external circuit.
