Hei M is the license plate code for Suihua City, Heilongjiang Province. The license plate codes for other regions in Heilongjiang Province are as follows: Hei A for Harbin, Hei B for Qiqihar, Hei C for Mudanjiang, Hei D for Jiamusi, Hei E for Daqing, Hei F for Yichun, Hei G for Jixi, Hei H for Hegang, Hei J for Shuangyashan, Hei K for Qitaihe, Hei L for counties and county-level cities under Harbin, Hei N for Heihe, Hei P for Daxing'anling, and Hei R for Heilongjiang Agricultural Reclamation Administration Bureau (Reclamation Area). The following is an introduction to license plates: 1. The first character of a license plate number is a Chinese character representing the provincial administrative region, and the second is a letter representing the code of the prefecture-level administrative region. 2. The function of a license plate number is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs, and the owner and registration information of the vehicle can also be found based on the license plate.

As a veteran driver who frequently takes long-distance trips, I'm quite familiar with license plates. The 'Hei M' plates belong to Heilongjiang Province, specifically Suihua City, which is the standard division in China's license plate system. The first character of the plate is the provincial abbreviation - 'Hei' stands for Heilongjiang, and the second letter 'M' corresponds to Suihua. This allocation is consistent nationwide, like 'Jing A' for Beijing and 'Hu B' for Shanghai. Other letters in Heilongjiang are also clear: 'Hei A' is Harbin, 'Hei B' is Qiqihar. This system has remained largely unchanged since its unification in the 1980s, making it easy to identify vehicles from other provinces. With enough driving experience, you can tell where a car is from at a glance, helping you avoid urban restricted zones. For example, when Harbin restricts non-local plates, 'Hei M' vehicles need to be cautious. Plate colors also matter - blue plates are for private cars, yellow for large trucks. Always keep an eye out during daily driving to ensure mud doesn't obscure the letters, or you might face unnecessary fines. This knowledge is simple yet practical for new drivers too.

I often go on self-driving tours in the Northeast, and along the way, I see many license plates with the letter 'M' from Heilongjiang Province. Upon inquiry, I learned they are from Suihua. I find this coding system quite clever, with each city assigned a letter. I'm familiar with Heilongjiang's road conditions, and 'M' represents Suihua, an agricultural area. When I encounter a Heilongjiang 'M' minivan on the road, it's usually transporting agricultural products. License plate information is very helpful for travel. For example, when driving from Harbin to Suihua, recognizing local license plates can help gauge traffic flow and avoid congestion. Maintaining license plates is important—regularly cleaning them prevents wear and tear, ensuring they remain legible for police checks. I also enjoy memorizing different regional codes, which helps me prepare for cross-province trips, setting GPS routes to avoid restricted areas effortlessly. In the end, these small plates hold a wealth of knowledge, making driving more convenient and safer.

China's license plate system has evolved over many years. I remember that initially, letters were assigned based on the order of cities. For example, 'Hei M' in Heilongjiang represents Suihua, probably because it ranks high within the province. Historically, after the reforms in the 1980s, this coding system was standardized to facilitate traffic management, and it makes sense for Suihua, as an important agricultural area, to get the 'M'. I think license plates not only serve as identifiers but also carry a sense of regional culture. With so many vehicles in Heilongjiang, seeing the plate numbers can evoke images of winter snowscapes. The license plate rules are simple: the first character is the provincial abbreviation, followed by a letter representing the city code, and colors differentiate vehicle types. Understanding these makes driving more confident.

When traveling, if you spot a black license plate with the letter 'M', you'll know it's from Suihua, Heilongjiang. Suihua is close to Harbin and boasts beautiful scenery. I recommend taking a self-drive trip along the Songhua River in autumn—the golden fallen leaves are absolutely stunning. License plate information can aid in travel planning; for instance, a high number of 'M' plates indicates heavy local traffic, so check traffic regulations in advance to avoid entering restricted zones in the city. A quick maintenance tip: regularly check the clarity of your license plate number, gently wipe it with a damp cloth, and don’t let dust obscure it. Driving enthusiasts should learn more about license plates and consider adding an anti-slip license plate frame for a steadier and more reliable long-distance journey.

How to Identify Vehicle Information via VIN?

To identify vehicle information via the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), follow these steps: 1. Positions 1-3 (WMI) indicate the manufacturer, brand, and type—World Manufacturer Identifier; 2. Positions 4-9 represent the vehicle descriptor section; 3. The 10th position denotes the model year; 4. The 11th position indicates the assembly plant; 5. Positions 12-17 are the production sequence number. The VIN, also known as the vehicle identification code, is a unique alphanumeric sequence assigned by the manufacturer to identify each vehicle. Comprising 17 characters (letters and digits), it's alternatively called the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. Through combinatorial arrangement, the VIN ensures no duplication occurs for the same vehicle model within 30 years, providing unique identification—hence often referred to as a car's ID card.

How many kilometers can a 48V electric vehicle travel?

48V electric vehicles can travel 60 to 85 kilometers. Electric vehicles are divided into two types: electric bicycles and electric motorcycles. The range of an electric vehicle is determined by the capacity of the battery pack. Electric bicycles typically use a 350W controller and a 350W motor. With the same battery, vehicles with higher power have greater driving force but cover shorter distances. Currently, lead-acid batteries are assembled with 12V per unit, commonly using 3 or 4 units in series, resulting in 36V or 48V configurations. There is also an 18V configuration with four units in series, totaling 64V. The distance an electric vehicle can travel, referred to in the industry as the range, is not only related to the battery voltage and current but also depends on factors such as the motor type, rated power, output efficiency, and load capacity.

Is the free highway period based on the entry or exit time?

Highway toll exemption is determined by the exit time. During statutory holidays, the toll-free policy for passenger vehicles is based on the time they pass through the toll station exit. If you enter the highway during a toll period but exit during a free period, no toll will be charged. Conversely, if you enter during a free period but exit during a toll period, tolls will apply. If you cannot exit the highway by 24:00 on the last day of the free period, you can exit at the nearest toll station before the toll period begins to avoid charges for the preceding section. The holiday toll-free policy specifically exempts small passenger vehicles from highway tolls during major holidays.

Why don't rear wheels need wheel balancing?

Rear wheels also need wheel balancing, as all four wheels of a car generally require balancing. If wheel balancing is not performed, abnormal vibrations may occur during high-speed driving, which can affect the vehicle's handling and high-speed stability, as well as potentially impact ride comfort. Wheel balancing doesn't need to be done regularly; it's only necessary after replacing new tires or repairing tires. During regular vehicle use, it's essential to maintain your car's tires periodically. Tires are the only components of a car that contact the road surface, directly affecting driving stability and safety factors.
