According to the default "inventory car" standard in the automotive industry, an "inventory car" refers to a commercial vehicle that has been in stock for more than 6 months (imported cars are calculated separately). Below is some information about inventory cars: 1. The reason for setting 6 months as the standard is that the shelf life of most engine oils and some wearable parts is only 6 months. Although exceeding this period does not necessarily cause problems, there are risks involved. Therefore, the automotive industry internally sets the inventory age standard for "inventory cars" at 6 months because vehicles that have been in stock for more than 6 months require more attention when being sold. 2. Generally, new cars with an inventory age of less than 9 months have no mechanical issues. The possible problems are related to external components, such as paint damage (especially from bird droppings or rain marks on white paint).

Are Large Trucks Equipped with Automatic Transmissions?

Large trucks do have automatic transmission models. Here are the specific details about large truck transmissions: 1. Smoothness: Trucks have more gears, which means the speed ratio difference between gears is smaller. This results in less jerking during gear changes and a smoother ride. Additionally, most large trucks use diesel engines, which operate at lower RPMs, making more gears more convenient for vehicle control. 2. Rationality: It ensures that the engine can stay within the economical RPM range at different driving speeds, thereby saving fuel and reducing unnecessary fuel consumption. 3. Power Stability: Most large trucks are diesel-powered and operate at lower RPMs, typically between 1,000 RPM and 2,500 RPM. Having more gears allows for stable power output under various road conditions.

What are the 7-seater models of BMW?

BMW's 7-seater models include the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer and the BMW X7. Precautions for purchasing car insurance are as follows: 1. Purchase all necessary insurance types: Compulsory Traffic Insurance is a national mandatory requirement, and you cannot drive without it. Its essence is third-party liability insurance, so it covers the damage caused to third parties in an accident. There are various types of commercial insurance, but car owners should choose based on actual needs. Generally, it is recommended to purchase Vehicle Damage Insurance, Third-Party Liability Insurance, and No-Deductible Insurance. Vehicle Damage Insurance compensates for the loss of your own car, while Third-Party Liability Insurance serves as a supplement to Compulsory Traffic Insurance. The No-Deductible Insurance can offset a deductible rate for the portion of expenses the car owner needs to bear in an accident. 2. Pay attention to contract details: It is important to clearly understand the coverage and exclusion conditions of the product contract, as the compensation scope of each insurance type varies. For example, under what circumstances the insurance company will not compensate, and what materials should be prepared for a claim. 3. Report before repairing: In the event of an accident, the first step is to report it to the insurance company, which will then send someone to inspect the scene and assess the damage. Only after this should the car be repaired, followed by submitting documents and receiving compensation. If you do not report to the insurance company first and instead go to a repair shop privately, the insurance company may later determine that the repair costs exceed the assessed damage, and the difference will have to be borne by the car owner.

How Often Should Passenger Car Tires Be Normally Replaced?

Passenger car tires should normally be replaced every 5 years or approximately 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery, typically installed on metal rims. They support the vehicle body, absorb external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain driving performance. Key considerations for tire usage include: 1. Worn tire treads reduce grip, increase the risk of blowouts, and impair the tire's ability to expel debris and water; 2. Regularly check tire pressure; 3. Remove foreign objects from tires to prevent punctures, which can lead to air leaks or blowouts; 4. Rotate tire positions every 10,000 kilometers to evenly distribute wear, prevent uneven tread wear, and extend tire lifespan.
