Regular hybrid vehicles require blue license plates, while plug-in hybrid vehicles require new energy green license plates. Hybrid vehicles are categorized into plug-in hybrids, gasoline-electric hybrids, and range-extended hybrids. Since gasoline-electric hybrids and range-extended hybrids are not classified as new energy vehicles, they cannot benefit from new energy policies during the licensing process. A hybrid vehicle refers to a vehicle whose propulsion system consists of two or more individual drive systems that can operate simultaneously. The driving power of the vehicle is provided by one or more of these systems, depending on the actual driving conditions. The core of a hybrid vehicle lies in its hybrid power system, whose performance directly impacts the overall performance of the vehicle.

What Transmission Does the Focus Use?

The currently available Focus models offer a variety of transmission options, including 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual/automatic/dual-clutch/automatic manual, and 8-speed automatic/automatic manual transmissions. Below is relevant information about transmissions: 1. Transmissions are categorized into the following types: manual transmission, conventional automatic transmission, CVT continuously variable transmission/CVT with simulated gears, dual-clutch transmission, and AMT transmission. 2. The purpose of a transmission is to enable the car to drive at very low stable speeds, which would be difficult to achieve with just the engine's minimum stable speed; the reverse gear allows the car to move backward; and the neutral gear allows the engine to be separated from the drivetrain for extended periods during engine startup, parking, and coasting.

Can automatic headlights switch between high and low beams?

Automatic headlights can switch between high and low beams. Generally, automatic headlights default to low beams. When high beams are needed, the driver can manually adjust them. Some higher-end vehicles also feature automatic high/low beam switching functionality. Automatic headlights are light-sensitive control systems installed on front headlights that automatically turn on or off when light intensity exceeds or falls below certain thresholds. Low beams are designed for close-range illumination, featuring wide coverage but short projection distance with non-adjustable focus. High beams adjust light intensity based on filament distance, emitting parallel, concentrated light with greater brightness that can illuminate distant or elevated objects.

What are the types of automatic transmissions?

There are three types of automatic transmissions: dual-clutch transmission (DCT), continuously variable transmission (CVT), and automatic transmission (AT). An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears, as the computer controls the gear shifting. However, the structure of an automatic transmission is more complex than that of a manual transmission. The dual-clutch transmission is developed based on the manual transmission, and its structure is similar to that of a manual transmission, except it has an additional clutch and a set of gear-shifting control mechanisms. The steel belt or chain of a CVT transmission can move on the pulleys, enabling variable speed and torque. The AT transmission is a relatively complex automatic transmission, also known as a torque converter transmission. It connects to the engine via a torque converter and relies on planetary gears for speed and torque variation.

What does the A button on an automatic transmission car mean?

Automatic transmission car A button is the automatic parking function, which refers to a function that enables the driver to avoid unnecessary sliding of the vehicle without the need for long-term braking or activating the electronic parking brake. This function can automatically activate the four-wheel braking when the vehicle is waiting at a red light or stopping on a slope. Even in D gear or N gear, there is no need to keep stepping on the brake or using the handbrake, and the car remains stationary. The automatic parking function provides accurate parking force through the slope sensor by the controller. When starting, the parking control unit calculates the information provided by the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, throttle pedal sensor, etc. When the driving force is greater than the driving resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly, greatly reducing the time wasted based on experience judgment.

What are the components of a steering gear?

The components of a steering gear include the steering wheel, steering shaft, and steering column. The steering gear is a mechanism that converts the rotation of the steering wheel into the swinging motion of the pitman arm or the linear reciprocating motion of the rack shaft, while amplifying the steering force. The steering gear is usually fixed to the vehicle's frame or body, and the steering force typically changes its transmission direction after passing through the steering gear. Steering gears can be classified by their assistance type into mechanical (non-assisted) and power-assisted types. Mechanical steering gears can be further divided into rack-and-pinion, recirculating-ball, worm-and-roller, recirculating-ball-and-nut, and worm-and-sector types based on their structural design. Power-assisted steering gears are categorized into pneumatic and hydraulic types based on the energy transmission medium used.

What do M+ and M- mean in an automatic transmission?

M+ and M- in an automatic transmission refer to the manual mode of the gearbox, where '+' means upshift and '-' means downshift. After engaging the M mode, the driver can control the gearbox to upshift or downshift using the gear lever or paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, which can be useful during aggressive driving. A common type of automatic transmission in cars is the dual-clutch transmission (DCT), a popular automatic gearbox whose structure is similar to that of a manual transmission. The DCT has one more clutch and one more gear-shifting control mechanism than a manual transmission, with one clutch controlling the odd-numbered gears and the other controlling the even-numbered gears. The DCT offers fast shifting speeds and relatively high transmission efficiency.
