Speaking of the relationship between Beijing Automobile Works (BAW) and BAIC Group, I find it quite interesting, especially since I've been following the automotive industry for many years. Beijing Automobile Works, abbreviated as BAW, is an old enterprise established in 1958, specializing in manufacturing off-road vehicles like the classic BJ212 series, which was extremely popular in the 1970s and 1980s. BAIC Group, on the other hand, was founded in the new millennium in 2000, integrating BAW and several other smaller enterprises to form a large parent company. Therefore, BAW is now a subsidiary under BAIC, maintaining relative brand independence—for instance, BAW continues to produce rugged off-road vehicles like the BJ40, while BAIC's brand portfolio is more diversified, including models like the Senova sedans or the new energy EU series. In the long run, BAW preserves its traditional style, whereas BAIC drives innovation. The two share resources but keep their brands distinct. When buying a car, BAW models fall under BAIC's after-sales network, which can be confusing but essentially means they are part of the same family.

What does inventory car mean?

There is no clear legal definition for inventory cars, but in the automotive sales industry, the term generally refers to vehicles that have remained unsold for over a year. As a commodity, inventory cars occupy substantial space, carry high price tags, incur significant storage costs, and tie up considerable dealer capital. Consequently, dealers typically avoid prolonged inventory retention. However, due to various reasons, many vehicles exceeding one year since manufacture do exist in the market. Identifying inventory cars requires no special effort – manufacturing dates are clearly stated on vehicle identification plates, and dealers seldom conceal inventory status. The critical assessment lies in whether the vehicle received proper maintenance during its storage period.

How Long Is the New Car Warranty Period?

New car warranty period is 3 years or 60,000 kilometers. The car warranty period refers to the time frame during which the car manufacturer promises to provide free repairs and maintenance for faults caused by quality issues when selling the product to consumers. During the warranty period, not all vehicle repair costs are waived; it depends on the free items specified by the manufacturer during the warranty period. Usually, there are relevant written descriptions in the owner's manual and the after-sales departments of various car 4S stores, so car owners should carefully read the manual to avoid spending unnecessary money during the warranty period. The so-called car warranty period does not actually mean that the owner can repair or replace parts at will. The warranty contract actually specifies different scopes such as important component warranty period, large parts warranty period, comprehensive warranty, and full warranty.

Is It Necessary to Replace a Rusty Transmission?

It is necessary to replace a rusty transmission because rust can cause gear shifting issues, such as difficulty engaging gears or gear slippage, which compromises driving safety. Below are details about transmissions: 1. Function: A transmission is a gearbox that changes the transmission ratio and direction of motion. Located between the clutch and the central drive, its main purposes are: changing the vehicle's driving force and speed (gear shifting) without altering the engine's speed and torque; enabling the vehicle to move backward (reverse); and allowing the engine to idle without stalling (neutral). 2. Classification: Based on the transmission type, gear transmissions can be divided into three categories: two-shaft, three-shaft, and compound. The two-shaft type has two main shafts (excluding the reverse shaft) and only requires one pair of gears for speed reduction. The three-shaft type has three main shafts (input shaft, intermediate shaft, and output shaft) and requires two pairs of gears for speed reduction. The compound type consists of two transmissions connected in series or parallel to achieve more gear positions with fewer gears.

How to Determine Whether to Change the Transmission Fluid

Methods to determine whether to change the transmission fluid: When you feel that the car's gear shifting is stiff or not smooth, or there are abnormal noises from the transmission, body shaking, or slow acceleration, it indicates that the transmission fluid needs to be changed. After prolonged use, the performance of the transmission fluid will degrade, including reduced viscosity, lubrication, and sealing properties, all of which affect the operation of the transmission and, consequently, the driving experience. Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the gear system clean, ensuring the proper functioning of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. Most transmission fluids can be used in automatic transmissions available on the market. In fact, each automatic transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different car models will have variations in torque, weight, speed, and structure. Therefore, the original manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission fluid. Different transmission fluids are one of the factors that affect the quality of gear shifting.

What are the clever tricks for removing license plate screws?

The clever tricks for removing license plate screws are: 1. Use a screwdriver to remove the protective cover on the screw; 2. Break the protective shell of the screw. Although the material of the protective shell is hard, it is also brittle, so you can use a screwdriver and pliers to pry off the shell; 3. After the shell is pried off, the screw will become relatively loose. At this point, you can use pliers to grip the top of the screw and slowly unscrew it; 4. If the second step fails to pry off the shell, you can first use an angle grinder to cut off both sides of the screw, making the screw head flat; 5. Use a wrench to unscrew the screw; 6. If you have a special license plate screw vise, simply use the vise to grip the screw and unscrew it directly.
