What Fuel Does a Car Run On?
2 Answers
What fuel a car runs on depends on the car's requirements. Definition of a car: According to the latest Chinese national standard "Terms and Definitions of Types of Vehicles and Trailers" (GB/T 3730.1-2001), a car is defined as follows: a non-track vehicle driven by power, with four or more wheels, mainly used for transporting people and/or goods; towing vehicles for transporting people and/or goods; or for special purposes. Introduction to domestic car brands: Domestic car brands include Hongqi, Changan, Great Wall, Chery, Geely, Roewe, BYD, etc.
After driving for so many years, I've come to realize that cars run on energy, just like how people need food to have the strength to run. Inside a car, there's an engine where gasoline or diesel burns, much like setting off firecrackers—bang! It explodes to generate power. This force is then transmitted through the transmission to the four wheels, propelling the entire car forward. Of course, many electric cars are different now; they rely on batteries to power the motor, running directly without burning fuel. No matter what kind of car it is, it needs a power source to move. If the engine or motor fails, neither refueling nor charging will help. Additionally, driving habits are crucial. Frequently slamming on the accelerator or brakes wastes a lot of energy, making the car less efficient.
