Borgward is a German brand, founded in 1919 by German engineer Carl Borgward. In 2016, Borgward launched its first SUV, the BX7, in the domestic market, followed by the BX5, BX7 TS, BXi7, and BX6, forming a comprehensive SUV product lineup. The Borgward BX7 is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged direct-injection engine, delivering powerful performance with 165kW and 300Nm. The Borgward 4MAX intelligent all-wheel-drive system features an advanced electronically controlled multi-plate clutch and an optional eLSD electronic limited-slip differential. By dynamically distributing driving force in real-time, it significantly enhances the vehicle's handling and off-road capability across various terrains while improving safety during cornering and on slippery surfaces such as rain or snow.

I remember the Borgward brand, which originally had German roots, established in Germany in 1929. The cars it produced were quite prestigious before World War II, even participating in the racing era. However, it later went dormant until 2015 when China's Beiqi Foton stepped in to acquire and revive it. Strictly speaking, the brand retains its German heritage, but the company headquarters now operates in China, producing new models like the BX7, which still carries the solid design sensibility of German cars. Personally, I think this transformation is pretty cool—combining German craftsmanship with China's market dynamism. If you're interested in the revival of classic car brands, Borgward's story is definitely worth discussing. It still has loyal fans in Europe, but it's still striving to grow in the Chinese market.

As someone who has driven a Borgward, I have to talk about its brand identity: Born in Germany in 1929 with authentic German heritage, it became inseparable from China after being acquired by China's Foton in 2015. When I drove the BX5, the chassis tuning felt very German—solid and reliable, while maintenance and repairs were all handled domestically. To me, it feels like a hybrid, with its roots in Germany but its vitality and innovation coming from China. If you're considering buying one, I’d suggest looking into Borgward's history—it’s not just a means of transportation but also carries the cultural charm of a classic European brand reborn. It offers great value for money, not as expensive as purely German brands.

From a technical perspective, Borgward's designs originated in Germany in 1929, when it emphasized precision engineering and safety standards. After China took over in 2015, the core DNA remained unchanged—features like body structure and engine efficiency still bear German hallmarks. Simply put, the brand is German, but operations are China-led. I believe this benefits consumers who want reliable German engineering at more affordable prices—Borgward offers a cost-effective option, reviving itself through Chinese innovation.

Why Can't Car Windows Be Opened When Submerged in Water?

Because the water pressure is too great. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Internal and external pressure difference: The cabin contains air, and the pressure difference between inside and outside causes the force exerted by water on the door to reach 150 kilograms, making it impossible to open. When the cabin is completely filled with water, the internal and external pressures balance out, allowing the door to be opened as easily as if in air. 2. Atmospheric pressure: After the car plunges into water 1 meter deep, the door is subjected to the equivalent of 1 ton of water pressure. Inside the car, there is basically only atmospheric pressure, which is negligible compared to the water pressure. Water slowly enters the cabin at a very slow rate. At this point, the driver typically panics and desperately tries to open the door, accelerating oxygen consumption inside the car. By the time the cabin is fully flooded and the pressure on both sides of the door balances out, the driver, having exhausted oxygen and likely ingested a large amount of water, may already be unconscious or lack the strength to open the door.

Can the Wuling Mini Truck Carry 2 Tons on the Highway?

Wuling mini trucks with a maximum speed exceeding 70 km/h are permitted on highways. Below are relevant regulations concerning highway driving for motor vehicles: 1. Speed Limits: Pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, tractors, wheeled special machinery vehicles, articulated buses, full trailers, and other motor vehicles with a design maximum speed below 70 km/h are prohibited from entering highways. The maximum speed indicated by highway speed limit signs shall not exceed 120 km/h. 2. Distance Restrictions: When driving normally on highways, the following vehicle in the same lane must maintain sufficient distance from the vehicle ahead. Under normal conditions, when traveling at 100 km/h, the following distance should be at least 100 meters. 3. Accident Handling Procedures: If a vehicle cannot leave the driving lane or must park on the shoulder due to breakdown or accident, the driver must immediately activate hazard warning lights and place a warning sign 100 meters behind in the driving direction. At night, width marker lights and tail lights must also be turned on. Drivers and passengers must quickly move to the right shoulder or emergency stopping area and immediately report to traffic police.

How to Determine if a Motorcycle Rectifier is Faulty?

Start the vehicle and remove the battery fuse. Turn on the headlights and observe their brightness. If the lights are dim, weak, or fail to illuminate, it indicates that the rectifier/voltage regulator is damaged. If the brightness is sufficient and the bulbs become brighter with a slight increase in engine speed, then the rectifier/voltage regulator is functioning normally. Below are the functions of a motorcycle rectifier: 1. Rectification: Rectification refers to unidirectional current flow. A motorcycle has a primary power source and an auxiliary power source. The battery serves as the auxiliary power source, while the magneto acts as the primary power source. Under normal circumstances, the current between these two sources is interconnected. To prevent the battery current from flowing back to the generator, a rectifier is required. 2. Voltage Regulation: The motorcycle generator is responsible solely for generating electricity and lacks voltage regulation capabilities. The rectifier stabilizes the voltage using electronic components.

Can Small Trucks Enter Urban Areas?

Due to varying urban traffic restriction measures in different regions, generally small trucks are allowed to enter urban areas, but certain roads may have restrictions, and some roads have time-based restrictions, which require attention. Typically, double-row small trucks are not permitted in downtown areas, and drivers may need to choose alternative routes. Relevant information about vehicle restrictions is as follows: 1. Relevant regulations: The Ministry of Transport stipulates that, starting from September 21, double-row vehicle transporters are prohibited from entering highways; from July 1, 2018, non-compliant vehicle transporters are completely banned, and standard freight vehicle models are promoted. Highway entrances may be equipped with STW-18 portable over-limit detection devices for random inspections. 2. Cancellation of the 15-year scrapping rule for pickup trucks: The cancellation of the 15-year scrapping rule for pickup trucks is only a new regulation in some regions. However, vehicles that fail annual inspections or reach 600,000 kilometers must still be scrapped. Currently, most regions still enforce the 15-year scrapping rule.

What happens if water is used instead of coolant?

Using water instead of coolant can cause rust in the engine's water passages and lead to scale buildup, which may block the passages. Additionally, water has a lower boiling point and freezing point, which can affect the engine's normal operation during summer or winter. Below is relevant information about coolant: 1. Working mechanism: Water-cooled engines rely on coolant circulating continuously within the engine to dissipate heat. The coolant follows two circulation paths inside the engine: a major cycle and a minor cycle. When the engine is first started, the coolant undergoes a minor cycle, bypassing the radiator to allow the engine to warm up quickly. After the engine has run for a while, the coolant enters the major cycle, passing through the radiator to dissipate heat, ensuring the engine operates within the optimal temperature range. 2. Precautions: Coolant needs to be replaced regularly. Prolonged use without replacement can lead to an increase in freezing point and a decrease in boiling point, negatively impacting engine performance. Therefore, it is essential to replace the coolant on schedule. It is recommended to change the coolant every 20,000 kilometers.
