Transmission is one of the important drivetrain components of a car, and its performance is a key parameter determining the vehicle's overall performance. Transmissions are mainly divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions. Among them, both AT and AMT belong to automatic transmissions. The specific differences between the two are as follows: 1. AT Transmission: The AT transmission consists of a valve body, oil pump, clutch, brake, one-way clutch, diaphragm spring, snap ring, steel plates, friction plates, large sun gear, small sun gear, planetary carrier, and ring gear. The structure of the AT transmission is complex and precise, and in actual vehicle installation, it needs to be connected to a torque converter. The AT-automatic transmission is mature in technology but has relatively higher fuel consumption. 2. AMT Transmission: The AMT transmission is essentially a manual transmission with automatic clutch and gear-shifting functions. Its structure is fundamentally the same as that of a traditional parallel-shaft manual transmission. The AMT transmission has relatively noticeable gear-shifting impacts (though advancements in electronic control technology have made gear-shifting actions and timing more precise, reducing the impact). It features a simple structure, high reliability, and ease of maintenance. Since it is essentially a manual transmission with added automatic clutch and gear-shifting mechanisms, it has more gear ratios, making it more adaptable to various complex working conditions. Ordinary AMT transmissions cannot amplify the input torque because they lack a torque converter. Only some heavy-duty transport vehicles, to cope with their specific working conditions, use AMT transmissions equipped with torque converters.

Is an insurance policy required for vehicle inspection in 2021?

2021 vehicle inspection requires a compulsory traffic insurance policy. Here is relevant knowledge about inspection insurance policies: Policy provided by vehicle owner: Vehicle annual inspection requires the owner to provide a compulsory traffic insurance policy. The duplicate of the compulsory traffic insurance is submitted to the vehicle management office for retention during the inspection, while the original is kept by the owner. Using electronic policies: After the 2020 auto insurance reform, electronic compulsory traffic insurance policies have been implemented nationwide. Therefore, in some regions, owners only need to present an electronic compulsory traffic insurance policy for the inspection. Consult the vehicle management office in advance: Since policies for vehicle annual inspection may vary by region, it is recommended that owners print the electronic policy or call the local vehicle management office hotline before the inspection to avoid inconvenience.

Will a New Car Driven into a River Be Fully Compensated?

A new car driven into a river may not necessarily be fully compensated by the insurance company. If the car owner drives the car into the river, those who have purchased car damage insurance can claim according to the actual loss, but if the loss exceeds the limit, the excess part will be borne by the car owner, and full compensation is not guaranteed. If the car is driven into the river due to a collision with another vehicle and the other party is fully at fault, the fully at-fault party's compulsory traffic insurance, third-party liability insurance, and the at-fault car owner will compensate for all losses, allowing for full compensation. If the car owner has purchased additional engine water damage insurance (a type of add-on insurance), the insurance company will compensate for engine damage caused by driving through water or being submerged. However, if the car owner forcibly starts the engine after submersion, causing further damage, the insurance company will not compensate.

Which driving mode is the most fuel-efficient for the Audi Q5L?

Audi Q5L selecting the ECO economy mode is the most fuel-efficient. Economy Mode: In economy mode, the car's transmission shifts gears very actively and always keeps the RPM at a low level. Additionally, the vehicle primarily operates in front-wheel drive and automatically activates the start-stop system to achieve excellent fuel economy. Comfort Mode: The overall logic of comfort mode is the same as economy mode, but it does not automatically activate the start-stop system. The frequency of four-wheel drive engagement is also higher than in economy mode. Auto Mode: The most commonly used mode in daily driving, it can automatically switch to economy mode during highway cruising and dynamically switch to sport mode during aggressive driving. However, auto mode constantly changes modes and does not stay in one mode for an extended period.

Does a 2016 car need an annual inspection in 2021?

A 2016 car does not require an annual inspection in 2021. Introduction: For 5-seat passenger cars, there is a 6-year exemption from vehicle inspection, but you still need to get a stamp at the vehicle management office. For 7-seat vehicles, inspections are required every 2 years. According to regulations, non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years after purchase; vehicles older than 6 years must undergo annual inspections; vehicles older than 15 years must be inspected every six months. Additional Information: Vehicle inspection requirements depend on the vehicle's first registration date and type. Under the new rules, vehicles within the first 6 years do not require on-site inspections, but owners must still provide proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, tax payment or exemption certificates for vehicle and vessel tax, and resolve any traffic violations or accidents before applying for the inspection label from the traffic management department.
