Langdong's catalytic converter is located at the front of the exhaust pipe, resembling a long kettle-shaped device. All modern vehicles are equipped with catalytic converters, only vehicles produced in earlier years that failed to meet the National II emission standards lacked catalytic converters. Composition of the catalytic converter: A catalytic converter typically consists of four main components: the shell, vibration damping layer, substrate, and catalyst coating. The shell is made of stainless steel to prevent oxide scale detachment, which could lead to substrate blockage. The vibration damping layer is composed of gaskets or wire mesh pads, serving to seal, insulate, and secure the substrate. To protect the substrate from damage caused by vibration, thermal deformation, and other factors, the gasket is made of expanded mica and aluminum silicate fibers, bonded together with adhesive. The substrate is constructed from honeycomb-shaped ceramic materials, though many also use metal (including stainless steel) materials. The catalyst consists of precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium, which are sprayed onto the substrate to form the purifying agent.

How Long Can Vehicle Annual Inspection Be Overdue At Most?

Vehicle annual inspection can only be done in advance and cannot be overdue, not even for a single day. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, if a vehicle fails to undergo the annual inspection on time, the driver will be fined and penalized with 3 demerit points. Therefore, vehicle owners should plan the annual inspection time in advance, and it is recommended to do the inspection 3 months ahead of the deadline. Consequences of overdue vehicle annual inspection: 1. For any traffic accidents caused by a vehicle that has not undergone the annual inspection on time, the person involved will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not be liable, as the insurance policy specifies that vehicles with overdue inspections are among the excluded items for claims; 2. It is particularly important to note that according to the Compulsory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles, if a motor vehicle fails to obtain the inspection qualification mark for 3 consecutive inspection cycles after the inspection validity period expires, it will be compulsorily scrapped.

What to Do If the Vehicle Annual Inspection Deadline is Missed?

If the vehicle annual inspection deadline is missed, you can normally participate in the inspection after paying the required penalty. Vehicles that fail to undergo mandatory safety technical inspections within the prescribed period will receive a warning or a fine from the traffic management department of the public security authority. Driving an uninspected vehicle is illegal, but as long as no accidents occur, promptly completing a late inspection will resolve the issue. Operating a vehicle without valid inspection constitutes illegal driving, and insurance companies will not cover any accidents that occur under such circumstances. Therefore, vehicle owners must ensure their vehicles undergo regular annual inspections. Vehicle inspection frequency regulations: 1. Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually for the first 5 years, and every 6 months thereafter; 2. Trucks and large/medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles require annual inspections for the first 10 years, switching to 6-month intervals after that; 3. Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles enjoy 6-year exemption from physical inspections but must apply for exemption decals biennially. Since November 20, 2020, 7-9 seat non-commercial mini/micro buses have been included in the exemption range.

Motorcycles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 4 years, and once every year after exceeding 4 years; 5. The annual inspection time for motor vehicles is determined based on the registration date of the new vehicle. For example, if the initial registration date on the motor vehicle license is June 2007, the vehicle inspection time is every June. The owner of the motor vehicle can apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration location within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. This means that vehicles undergoing annual inspection in June can participate in the inspection at the testing station in April, May, or June.
