The differences between automotive Tier1 and Tier2 are as follows: 1. Scale: Tier2 companies are generally smaller in size with weaker technical capabilities compared to Tier1. Due to their limited production capacity, they hold less importance in the supply chain. Tier1 companies form the first link in the entire supply chain, driving the entire production process forward. This also means their production speed is crucial. Tier1 must also strictly ensure safety and compliance with relevant standards, with no defective products allowed to enter Tier1. 2. Operational process: In reality, OEM supply chains may be longer, but the Tier1 and Tier2 model reveals their operational workflow - Tier2 supplies products to Tier1, and OEMs use Tier1 products to manufacture final goods. The strength of a supply chain depends on its weakest link, making sound business management essential at every level.

Can Alcohol Be Stored Inside a Car?

From a safety perspective, 75% alcohol should not be stored in a car. Below are the potential hazards associated with keeping alcohol in a vehicle: Low Flash Point: Alcohol has a flash point of only 20 degrees Celsius. If the temperature inside the car becomes too high, it may lead to combustion. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid storing alcohol in the car. Damage to Interior: Using alcohol inside the car can cause damage to interior components such as leather seats or steering wheels. Directly spraying alcohol on leather surfaces may harm them, as alcohol is an organic solvent. This could have a more significant impact on vehicles with substandard leather quality.

What is the difference between multi-point injection and direct injection?

Here are the differences between direct injection and multi-point injection: Control method: Direct injection is mechanical injection; multi-point injection requires injection based on signals such as air flow, water temperature, throttle opening, and engine load for knock. Characteristics: The engine has high fuel injection precision, and there is no need to worry about gasoline adhering to the intake manifold. Direct injection in the cylinder can increase the compression ratio, and atomized gasoline can directly reduce the temperature in the cylinder, achieving stratified combustion. The gas mixes with gasoline in the intake manifold, making the mixture more uniform. The angle of the injector is just right to face the valve, and during injection, gasoline can to some extent clean the carbon deposits on the valve, with good reliability and easy maintenance. The injector is not inside the cylinder, so it is not affected by high temperature and high pressure environments.
