The powertrain has functions such as vehicle deceleration, speed change, reverse driving, power interruption, and inter-axle differential. The powertrain is the device that transmits power between the engine and the driving wheels, so it ensures the traction force, speed, and their coordinated changes required during vehicle operation. Below are the classifications of the powertrain: 1. Hydrostatic Powertrain: This type of powertrain can also be called a volumetric hydraulic powertrain. It mainly consists of an oil pump, hydraulic motor, and control device. This is a powertrain that converts the mechanical energy of the engine into hydraulic energy via the oil pump and then into mechanical energy via the hydraulic motor. 2. Hydraulic Powertrain: This combines hydraulic and mechanical methods to transmit power. In vehicles, hydraulic powertrain generally refers to hydraulic transmission, which uses liquid as the transmission medium and utilizes the kinetic energy changes generated during the circulating flow of liquid between the driving and driven components to transmit power. 3. Mechanical Powertrain: Compared to other powertrains, this one has a simple structure and reliable operation, which is why it is widely used in various types of vehicles. 4. Electric Powertrain: This mainly consists of an engine-driven generator. Since the generator is much heavier than the oil pump and hydraulic motor, its application is limited to ultra-heavy-duty vehicles.

What is a Second-hand Car Without Title Transfer?

Second-hand cars without title transfer, also known as "mortgaged vehicles," can be legally driven on the road and undergo normal annual inspections and insurance purchases, despite the inability to complete a normal ownership transfer. Below is an introduction to mortgaged vehicles: Mortgaged vehicles: These are vehicles used as collateral for banks, companies, or individuals, and purchasing such second-hand cars carries significant risks. Categories: Mortgaged vehicles are divided into two types: the first is vehicles purchased through bank installments, and the second is vehicles mortgaged to individuals or companies as loan collateral. If the mortgage has been lifted, they can be purchased; if not, buying such second-hand cars poses risks. If the original owner fails to repay the loan on time, the vehicle may be auctioned by the mortgagee to settle the debt when the loan matures.

Is There Green Transmission Fluid?

Transmission fluid typically comes in two colors, red and green, which are designed to distinguish it from regular engine oil. The functions of transmission fluid are as follows: Reduce friction and wear, control clutch friction and synchronizer performance. Load bearing (low speed with high torque, vibration loads), heat dissipation, reduction of vibration and noise, and removal of contaminants at gear meshing points (cleaning function). Prevent corrosion, pitting, and surface metal tear-off, isolate metal surfaces to prevent direct contact between metal parts. The methods for changing transmission fluid are as follows: Drain the fluid by loosening the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission, then refill. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain and refill: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities settled at the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to change automatic transmission fluid: Dynamic fluid exchange with an intelligent circulation machine can filter and clean sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission.

How to use reference points for right reverse parking exit?

Reference points for reverse parking exit are as follows: Mirror alignment and full right turn: When starting to reverse, observe the positional relationship between the left rearview mirror and the parking line. First turn the steering wheel half turn to the right, then start moving. When the left rearview mirror covers the parking line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Observe corner and adjust distance: While reversing with the steering wheel fully turned to the right, watch the right rearview mirror. Maintain a distance of 30cm between the vehicle body and the right front parking corner. If the distance becomes too narrow, correct the steering. The standard width of parking lines is 15cm, so in the rearview mirror this distance should appear roughly equivalent to two parking line widths. Straighten when parallel: When half of the vehicle has entered the parking space, observe the relationship between the vehicle body and sideline through both rearview mirrors. Straighten the steering wheel when the vehicle body becomes parallel with the sideline. If the left and right distances are unequal at this point, you can make an additional half turn adjustment. The adjustment rule is: observe which direction the rear of the vehicle is leaning through the rearview mirror, then imagine which direction the front is currently leaning, and steer in that direction.

How Many Days Does It Take to Check for Running a Red Light?

After running a red light, the illegal photo message is usually received within 3 to 7 days, and at the latest, around 13 days. Some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture notifications," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. However, the notification does not equate to a traffic violation; it serves only as a capture alert. Whether it is indeed a violation will be confirmed within 3-7 days. If it is confirmed as a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive an immediate violation notice. There is a delay, and the duration may vary. After the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant information must be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center. It is then compiled and forwarded to the relevant traffic police staff for verification. If confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via SMS. After receiving the violation notice, the vehicle owner must report to the traffic police department at the location of the violation within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation notice is received within 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Methods for Checking Traffic Violations: Traffic violation checking refers to the process of checking motor vehicle violations of traffic regulations through online platforms or query terminals. Methods include checking via traffic violation websites, phone calls, SMS, or mobile apps. Website Query: Search for "vehicle violation query" and enter the vehicle information to check. Phone Query: Dial the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be processed at the location of the violation or the vehicle's registration authority. For on-the-spot violations, such as those caught directly by traffic police, processing must be done at the violation location. SMS Query: Open the SMS interface on your phone, enter "WZ [license plate number] [plate color]," and send it to 1062650001. Mobile App Query: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, select "violation query," and clear any unresolved violations.

Can Used Cars Be Used for Ride-Hailing Services?

Ride-hailing services do not restrict whether the vehicle is new or used. In other words, used cars can also be used for services like Didi, as long as they meet the local ride-hailing regulations. For female drivers, the age limit is between 22 and 55 years old, while for male drivers, it is between 22 and 60 years old. All drivers must have a driving experience of at least 3 years to register. Ride-hailing vehicles must be forcibly scrapped when their mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers. If the mileage has not reached 600,000 kilometers but the vehicle has been in use for eight years, it must exit ride-hailing operations. Article 12 of the 'Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Ride-Hailing Business Services' stipulates that vehicles intended for ride-hailing services must meet the following conditions: Passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer; Equipped with a vehicle satellite positioning device with driving record functionality and an emergency alarm device; The vehicle's technical performance must meet the relevant operational safety standards. The specific standards and operational requirements for vehicles are determined by the corresponding administrative department for taxi services, based on the development principles of high-quality service and differentiated operation, in accordance with local conditions. Article 14 states that drivers engaged in ride-hailing services must meet the following conditions: Hold a motor vehicle driver's license for the corresponding vehicle type and have at least 3 years of driving experience; No records of traffic crime, dangerous driving crime, drug use, drunk driving, and no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the last three consecutive scoring cycles; No record of violent crimes; Other conditions stipulated by the municipal government.

How many mistakes are allowed in the 50-question Subject 4 exam?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses", for the Subject 3 road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test, a score of 90 points or above is required to pass. Each incorrect answer deducts 2 points, meaning only 5 mistakes are allowed—any more will result in failure. The total score is 100 points. Questions 1-10 are true/false; questions 11-40 are single-choice; and questions 41-50 are multiple-choice. The test includes image analysis, animated case studies, and text descriptions. The scope of the Subject 4 exam covers: driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions; identification of common traffic signs, markings, and hand signals; accident rescue and hazardous material handling knowledge; comprehensive judgment of violations and case analysis; emergency avoidance knowledge; safe driving knowledge; and driving ethics and civilized driving knowledge. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses", there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1 and Subject 4. If the first attempt on the same day is unsuccessful, an immediate retake is allowed. If still unsuccessful, rebooking is required, but no retake fee is charged. However, note that the driving skill test permit is valid for three years. If the applicant fails to complete all tests within this period, previously passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and the safe civilized driving knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4", which evaluates "driving ethics". Subject 4 is the colloquial name for the safe civilized driving knowledge test under Subject 3 and is not a separate subject. Since this test follows Subject 3, it is habitually called Subject 4. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safe civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 exam notes: Exam duration: 30 minutes. The test terminates if 12 points (6 questions) are deducted during the exam. Number of questions: 50 questions are selected proportionally from the Subject 4 question bank based on the license type. For car licenses, questions are drawn from a pool of 800; for large vehicle licenses, from 1,023. Each question is worth 2 points. Question types: Single-choice (including true/false) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The test includes animated questions, image-based questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based questions. Retake notes: Failing Subject 4 only requires retaking Subject 4. The driving school will schedule the retake, with no limit on attempts. No retake fee is charged. The driving test consists of 3 subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 1 covers traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 is the field driving skills test; and Subject 3 includes road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge.
