The logo consists of four interlinked rings, representing the four companies before their merger. These companies were manufacturers of bicycles, motorcycles, and passenger cars, including the Audi S4. Since the company was originally formed by the merger of four companies, each ring symbolizes one of these companies. Here are the specific meanings of the logo: 1. The four companies: Audi, Horch Automobile Company, Wanderer Automobile Company, and DKW Automobile Company. 2. Meaning: They merged in 1969 to form Audi-NSU Auto Union AG. In 1985, the company was renamed Audi AG, with its headquarters relocated to Ingolstadt, and the four-ring logo has been in use ever since.

The Audi logo, featuring four interlocking rings, represents the 1932 merger of four German automobile companies. Having driven for many years, I see it not just as an emblem but more like a family symbol—Audi, DKW, Horch, and Wanderer, each ring standing for one company, united into a powerful whole. This origin story reflects the spirit of unity in German industry during an economic depression, when companies joined forces to overcome adversity and innovate automotive technology. The logo's design is simple yet timeless; its silver tone has evolved into various styles over time, but its core meaning remains unchanged: collaboration, heritage, and progress. I often discuss with friends how the gleaming rings while driving evoke a sense of historical weight, reminding us of the power of collective wisdom. The Audi brand emphasizes precision and innovation, and this logo is living proof—despite design refinements in 1985 and 2016, it stands strong as ever, a classic icon in automotive culture.

What does China V and China VI vehicles mean?

China V and China VI vehicles refer to the national standards for vehicle exhaust emissions. The higher the number, the more environmentally friendly the vehicle's exhaust is. The following are the changes in the China V gasoline standards and the management of exhaust emissions: Changes in the China V gasoline standards: Considering the potential risks of manganese to human health and its adverse effects on vehicle emission control systems, the manganese content limit has been reduced from 8 milligrams per liter in the fourth stage to 2 milligrams per liter, and the addition of manganese-containing additives is prohibited. Management of exhaust emissions: This should be approached from two aspects: one is control technology, mainly improving fuel combustion efficiency, installing pollution prevention treatment equipment, and developing new types of engines; the other is administrative measures, including scrapping and renewing vehicles, phasing out old vehicles, developing new types of vehicles (i.e., vehicles with no pollutant emissions), and controlling fuel usage standards.

What is the shear value of engine oil?

Oil shear value refers to the oil film strength of engine oil under high shear conditions at 150 degrees Celsius. The higher the value, the greater the strength. The following are the functions and requirements of engine oil: Functions of engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. Advanced technology can convert natural gas into crystal-clean fully synthetic base oil, to which unique power cleaning technology is added, creating lubricants with superior cleaning and protective performance. Requirements for engine oil: As a type of machinery, engines have common requirements for lubricants similar to general machinery, such as appropriate viscosity, certain anti-oxidation, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and viscosity-temperature properties.

What Causes the Rattling Sound in the Trunk When Braking?

Braking and feeling a rattling sound in the trunk may be caused by unsecured items in the trunk; the trunk door not being properly closed; loose or detached screws in the trunk; or loose components such as the tail lock. Below is relevant information about the car trunk: 1. Maintenance: Keep the trunk clean and properly use the side mesh pockets. Most cars come equipped with these for storing items prone to rolling, such as flashlights or small fire extinguishers. They don't take up much space, but it's not advisable to pile items together, as they may fall out of the mesh pockets due to bumps during driving. 2. Precautions: Flammable and explosive items are prohibited. The interior of a car is a relatively enclosed space, and in summer, after exposure to the sun, the temperature inside can become very high. Storing flammable or explosive items in the trunk could lead to spontaneous combustion or explosion due to the high temperatures.

What is the difference between a manual transmission clutch and a dry clutch?

Manual transmission clutches are dry clutches. Here are the relevant details: 1. Dry clutch vs. wet clutch: Manual transmissions use dry clutches. If oil is present, the vehicle may slip and fail to move. Automatic transmission clutches are housed inside the transmission case. Those that rely on hydraulic pressure for engagement are wet clutches. A wet clutch means the clutch and gear wheels are immersed in oil. 2. Differences between dry and wet clutches: Dry clutches offer greater friction but are prone to overheating. To dissipate heat, some clutches use engine oil from the crankcase for cooling, which are called wet clutches. Dry clutches respond faster but are noisier and wear out more quickly. Wet clutches are more durable and quieter. Scooters typically use dry clutches, and many two-stroke vehicles also employ dry clutches.

What Causes Manual Transmission Car to Shake When Starting Cold but Not When Warm?

Here are the reasons why a manual transmission car shakes when starting cold but not when warm: 1. Low ignition energy causing shaking: The engine temperature is too low, and both fuel and lubricant temperatures are low. During a cold start, a richer air-fuel mixture is required, which demands higher ignition energy. Excessive spark plug gap or aging ignition coils and high-voltage coils can reduce ignition energy, causing the car to shake. 2. Incorrect air-fuel mixture ratio causing shaking: During a cold start, some engine sensors or signals from certain sensors may have significant errors, leading the ECU to make incorrect judgments. This results in errors in fuel injection timing and ignition timing control, causing engine shaking. 3. Uneven cylinder conditions causing engine shaking: In multi-cylinder engines, significant differences in ignition energy between cylinders, as well as varying degrees of wear on pistons and piston rings, can lead to inconsistent compression ratios. This results in uneven engine power output and causes engine shaking.

Are Night Vision Glasses Useful for Driving?

Night vision glasses are useful when driving at night. Below are the functions and classifications of night vision glasses: Functions of night vision glasses: They can effectively prevent headlight glare, enhance color saturation, and make the field of vision brighter and clearer. Generally, car night vision glasses appear golden yellow with a metallic-like coating on the surface. Classifications of night vision glasses: Infrared night vision glasses are further divided into two types: active and passive. Active night vision glasses emit a beam of infrared light that reflects off objects and returns, similar to a flashlight. Passive night vision glasses amplify the infrared light emitted by objects themselves and convert it into visible light. Low-light night vision glasses amplify faint light to present a clear image in the field of vision.
