China VI emission standard refers to the National Sixth Stage Emission Standards for Motor Vehicle Pollutants. It is established to prevent environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. The China VI emission standard specifies the following limits: 1. Carbon monoxide (CO) emission content: 700mg; 2. Non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) emission content: 68mg; 3. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission content: 60mg; 4. Particulate matter (PM) emission content: 4.5mg. Methods to check if a vehicle complies with China VI standard include: 1. Vehicle environmental protection compliance label; 2. The page with the vehicle certification number; 3. Estimating the emission standard based on the vehicle's manufacturing year; 4. Querying at the local vehicle management office using the original or a copy of the motor vehicle registration certificate.

The China VI emission standard is China's sixth-stage vehicle pollutant emission control requirement, which is stricter than the previous China V standard and is divided into two phases: China VIa and China VIb. China VIa was implemented starting in 2020, targeting the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrocarbons (HC), particulate matter (PM), and other emissions for both gasoline and diesel vehicles. China VIb was fully enforced in 2023, with pollutant limits such as nitrogen oxides nearly halved, requiring vehicles to be equipped with high-efficiency after-treatment systems like three-way catalytic converters. Vehicles must also monitor emission data in real-time via OBD. Choosing a China VIb-compliant vehicle when purchasing can help avoid future licensing restrictions or depreciation risks while supporting the upgrade of eco-friendly technologies. It is recommended to regularly maintain the exhaust system and use qualified fuel to reduce carbon deposits that may affect compliance. These modifications make vehicle exhaust cleaner, contributing to improved air quality. Overall, the China VI standard reflects China's progress in automotive environmental protection.

Can New Energy Vehicles Still Drive When Submerged in Water?

New energy vehicles can still drive when submerged in water. Here are the relevant details: 1. Battery Pack Protection Level: The key components of new energy vehicles are the battery, motor, and electronic control system. Their power comes from the battery pack, which is designed for automotive use and thus has a higher protection level than ordinary batteries. Generally, the power battery packs of pure electric vehicles meet the IP67 standard, meaning they can withstand submersion in 1-meter-deep water for about half an hour without issues, though prolonged exposure poses some risks. 2. New Energy Vehicles: New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or conventional vehicle fuels with new on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving systems, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and innovative structures.

Reasons for Unstable Car Tire Pressure?

In winter and summer, thermal expansion and contraction cause different tire pressures; loading conditions, whether empty, half-loaded, or fully loaded, result in varying tire pressures; severely worn and unworn tires also have different pressures. Hazards of Overinflated Tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving; decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks or blowouts, leading to tire bursts. Hazards of Underinflated Tires: Increases friction with the road surface, raising fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may cause a tire burst; increases tire body deformation, leading to sidewall cracks and flexing movements, causing excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

What are the differences between small cars and large cars?

Large cars and small cars differ in the following aspects: 1. Large cars: Large cars refer to vehicles with a total mass of 4.5 tons (inclusive), carrying 20 or more people (excluding the driver), or with a vehicle length of 6 meters (inclusive) or more. Examples include regular buses, medium and above trucks, and large special-purpose vehicles. Large cars use license plates with smaller front and larger rear dimensions, featuring yellow background with black characters. 2. Small cars: Small cars refer to vehicles with a total mass of less than 4.5 tons (inclusive), carrying fewer than 9 people (excluding the driver), or with a vehicle length of less than 6 meters (exclusive). Examples include sedans, jeeps, mini cars, light passenger vehicles, light trucks, and small special-purpose vehicles. Small cars use license plates with uniform front and rear dimensions, featuring blue background with white characters.

Does a new car need maintenance at 3,000 kilometers?

For a new car, maintenance is required either 3 months from the date of purchase or at 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Once either condition is met, the car should be taken to a 4S shop for maintenance. The first maintenance is free within the specified period, but any maintenance beyond the first one will require payment. If maintenance is not performed as required, the 4S shop may consider it as voluntarily waiving the warranty rights, which is not cost-effective because the nature of the vehicle warranty is similar to buying insurance for the vehicle. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Introduction to car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. 2. Scope of car maintenance: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. 3. Purpose of car maintenance: The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.
