Here are the must-have insurance policies for a new car: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance (CTPL): The first insurance policy to purchase for a car is CTPL, and it is legally required when buying a car. Without it, new drivers cannot license their vehicles, and experienced drivers cannot drive on the road. Driving without CTPL can result in severe penalties. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This insurance covers the compensation for bodily injury or direct property damage caused to others in an accident involving the insured vehicle. Accidents are the last thing anyone wants while driving, as they not only damage your beloved car but also require a significant amount of money to compensate others. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Commonly referred to as comprehensive car insurance, this policy differs from vehicle downtime loss insurance. It covers the insured vehicle against losses caused by natural disasters or accidents within the scope of insurance liability, providing corresponding compensation. However, it does not cover losses caused by earthquakes.

What are the foreign new energy vehicle brands?

Japanese brands such as Honda, Toyota, and Mitsubishi hold a significant share in the U.S. new energy vehicle market. Below is relevant information: New Energy Vehicles: New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that utilize unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive systems to form vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and novel structures. Definition of New Energy Vehicles: The terminology varies by country. In Japan, they are commonly referred to as "low-emission vehicles." In 2001, Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Ministry of the Environment, and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry formulated the "Low-Emission Vehicle Development and Dissemination Action Plan." The plan categorizes low-emission vehicles into five types: natural gas-fueled vehicles, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, methanol-fueled vehicles, and clean gasoline vehicles that meet the strictest emission and fuel efficiency standards.

When was the earliest China 5 emission standard implemented?

China 5 emission standard vehicles generally started rolling off the production line in 2012 at the earliest. China 5 is an emission standard that is stricter than China 4, resulting in fewer pollutants emitted, making it more environmentally friendly. From the vehicle's perspective, the main change is a more complex emission control system, which slightly increases costs. For car owners, there is no significant difference, although some models may experience slightly weaker power performance. Below is a brief introduction to the China 5 emission standard: 1. The China 5 standard, officially known as the National Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard, is equivalent to the Euro 5 emission standard currently implemented in Europe. The European Union has been enforcing this standard since 2009, imposing stricter limits on nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter emitted by motor vehicles. From China 1 to China 4, each upgrade in the standard reduces vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. 2. The China 5 standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017. Cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and parts of Guangdong had already started enforcing the China 5 standard earlier.

What Does Engine Oil Grade Mean?

Engine oil grade typically indicates viscosity and quality. Taking the grade 5W/30 as an example for detailed explanation: 1. First, the "W" in the oil grade stands for winter. 2. The "5" indicates that the oil has reliable low-temperature starting performance at -30 degrees Celsius. The smaller the number, the better the oil's cold resistance. 3. The 30 represents the kinematic viscosity standard at 100 degrees Celsius (between 9.3mm2/s and 12.5mm2/s). The three most commonly used types of engine oil currently: 1. Mineral oil: This type is directly refined from crude oil extracted from underground, containing more impurities and being cheaper in price. 2. Semi-synthetic oil: Based on mineral oil with the application of hydrocracking technology, it has seen significant improvements in both performance and purity. 3. Full synthetic oil: Synthesized from various natural substances, it can modify the characteristics of oil molecules as needed. It excels in cold starts, fuel economy, and extending mechanical lifespan, making it highly favored in the market, though it is also considerably more expensive.

How to Remove Fog Inside the Car on Rainy Days?

Here are the methods to remove fog inside the car on rainy days: 1. Open windows for air circulation: If the fog inside the car is not heavy, you can slightly open the windows on both sides to create air circulation between the inside and outside of the car. This will reduce the temperature difference and gradually eliminate the fog. The principle of this method is the same as using the air conditioner's cold air, but it does not increase fuel consumption. 2. Air conditioning system: For most car owners, using the air conditioning system to defog is the most common method. Almost all cars nowadays have air vents under the front windshield. Simply adjust the air conditioner to the appropriate setting to use the airflow to remove fog. Both cold and warm air have their pros and cons. If you are in a hurry, cold air can be used as an emergency measure, but warm air is recommended in most cases. 3. Anti-fog spray: Spray the anti-fog agent onto the inner surface of the car glass and wipe it clean. In addition to removing dirt from the glass, it also forms a protective film to prevent water vapor from condensing into fog on the glass. One application can prevent fog for about ten days.

What are the new regulations for small vehicle inspection exemption in 2021?

The following are the new regulations for small vehicle inspection within six years in 2021: Expanded scope of motor vehicle inspection exemption: Based on the exemption of non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with six seats or fewer from inspection within six years, non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats (excluding minivans) within six years are now included in the exemption scope. For non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over six years but less than ten years, the inspection frequency is adjusted from once a year to once every two years. Nationwide, more than 170 million private car owners will benefit from the convenience brought by this reform. Vehicles involved in fatal traffic accidents or illegally modified and penalized by law will still undergo inspections according to the original cycle to ensure vehicle safety performance. Relaxed age restrictions for applying for a small vehicle driver's license: To better adapt to the new demands of an aging society, the upper age limit of 70 years for applying for a small vehicle, small automatic transmission vehicle, or light motorcycle driver's license has been removed. For individuals over 70 years old applying for a driver's license, additional tests on memory, judgment, and reaction abilities are added to ensure their physical condition meets the requirements for safe driving.
