If you cannot apply for a Beijing entry permit after transferring the vehicle, it may be due to outstanding violations or the vehicle not meeting the requirements. It is recommended to check the relevant requirements. Below are the specific details about applying for a Beijing entry permit: 1. Application Notes: All motor vehicles (including highway vehicles) with license plates from outside Beijing must undergo an exhaust emission test, which is conducted by the environmental protection department. With the emission test certificate or a one-time emission test voucher issued by the environmental protection department, the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau will issue the Beijing entry permit. The permit issuance offices will only process the Beijing entry permit upon presentation of the emission test certificate or one-time emission test voucher issued by the environmental protection department (except for vehicles holding a "Green Channel" permit). Vehicles with a one-time emission test voucher can only apply for a 1- to 2-day valid Beijing entry permit and are not allowed to drive within the Third Ring Road (inclusive) (excluding vehicles transporting critically ill patients). For long-distance passenger and tourist vehicles from outside Beijing, an exhaust emission test must be conducted every 6 months at a designated vehicle inspection site. After passing the test, the environmental protection department will issue an emission test certificate valid for 6 months. The vehicle must then apply for a tourist passenger permit at the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau's Order Department and an entry passenger permit at the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau's Publicity Department. 2. Environmental Standards for the Beijing Entry Permit: During the validity period of the emission test certificate, if the vehicle emits visible black smoke or fails a random exhaust emission test, the police have the right to revoke the emission test certificate and temporarily confiscate the Beijing entry permit. The vehicle must undergo exhaust emission control and, after passing the test, obtain a new emission test certificate before retrieving the confiscated permit or reapplying for a new Beijing entry permit. For vehicles transporting agricultural products such as vegetables, eggs, and meat from outside Beijing with slightly excessive emissions, the environmental protection department will issue a one-time emission test voucher. Based on this, the traffic management department can issue a 2-day Beijing entry permit, but the vehicle is not allowed to drive within the Third Ring Road (inclusive). The traffic management department will reclaim the one-time emission test voucher upon issuing the permit, and the environmental protection department will record it. Vehicles that fail the emission test again on their second visit to Beijing will not be issued another one-time emission test voucher or a Beijing entry permit.

Last year, I helped my younger brother deal with this issue. The most common reason for not being able to apply for a Beijing entry permit after vehicle transfer is unsynchronized information. I just went through it: the traffic management system update can lag by 2-3 days, especially for vehicles transferred on Fridays—it's the worst. There are several pitfalls to check yourself—the previous owner hasn’t settled outstanding traffic violations in Beijing, the new vehicle license address doesn’t match the out-of-province ID card (e.g., using a Shandong ID to apply for a Hebei license plate), or the vehicle’s emission standard doesn’t meet China VI (older cars from before 2013 are most likely to be blocked). It’s best to wait three days after the transfer and check the environmental filing status using the 'Beijing Traffic Police' app. If it shows 'data synchronizing,' just keep waiting. If it still doesn’t work after seven days, take the green registration book directly to the inspection site to check the emission data. Also, note that out-of-town license plates have an annual limit on permit applications—exceeding 12 times will lock you out completely!

How Many Types of Water Sprinkler Trucks Are There?

Water sprinkler trucks include road cleaning sprinkler trucks, dust suppression spray sprinkler trucks, and firefighting specialized sprinkler trucks. Road Greening Sprinkler Truck: This type is used for road cleaning, equipped with front flushing, rear spraying, side spraying, and greening high-pressure cannon functions. It is mainly used for road sprinkling and landscaping, and can also be used for water transportation. Commonly seen on streets, especially during hot summers, its primary function is to cool down the roads. It also comes with two brooms next to the wheels for road sweeping and can be used for water transportation when necessary. Dust Suppression Spray Sprinkler Truck: This type is equipped with an additional fog cannon compared to ordinary sprinkler trucks, combining the functions of a sprinkler truck and a dust suppression truck, and is cheaper than professional dust suppression trucks. The added multi-functional fog cannon makes it more water-efficient in dust suppression compared to regular sprinkler trucks and allows for longer working hours. Firefighting Specialized Sprinkler Truck: Firefighting specialized sprinkler trucks feature eye-catching water pumps and high-pressure water cannons, capable of handling small firefighting tasks. They are mostly used in factories and institutions, serving as sprinkler trucks while also being ready to tackle sudden fire emergencies.

Can I Replace the Car Antifreeze Myself?

You can replace the car antifreeze yourself. You need to purchase antifreeze of the same color as the original or a universal type. If the color is different, you should completely drain the original antifreeze before adding the new one. Different colors and brands of antifreeze may have different formulations, and mixing them could cause chemical reactions that may affect the antifreeze's performance. Method for replacing antifreeze: Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the fluid channels with clean water. Add water to the antifreeze reservoir and continuously pour water into the reservoir to allow it to flow through the engine cooling system. Then, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water flowing out of the reservoir may have a faint pink tint. Continue adding clean water until the water coming out is clear. Note: Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new antifreeze through the radiator hose. This allows the antifreeze to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another bottle of antifreeze to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. During this time, the coolant level will drop as air is purged from the system. Add more antifreeze until it reaches the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

What Are the Reasons for a Car Air Conditioning Compressor Not Starting?

Circuit system failure, lack of refrigerant, mechanical wear of the compressor, and overly tight transmission belts can cause a car air conditioning compressor not to start. Circuit system failure: Short circuits or open circuits in the wiring directly disrupt the path of electrical transmission, preventing the electromagnetic clutch from properly controlling the compressor's operation. Lack of refrigerant: Refrigerant and refrigeration oil are mutually soluble, circulating through the system back to the compressor. If the Freon in the refrigerant is depleted, it will lead to insufficient oil return, reducing the lubrication effect and causing the compressor to seize and damage. Compressor mechanical wear: Long-term operation under high-speed load conditions causes mechanical fatigue and premature wear of compressor components, rendering it inoperable. Overly tight transmission belt: An overly tight transmission belt can directly cause the compressor to seize and stop running, while an overly loose belt will lead to slipping of the compressor's power transmission, resulting in intermittent cooling and reduced efficiency. Solutions for a car air conditioning compressor not starting: For circuit system failure, use a multimeter to check the circuit section by section, locate the fault point, and repair it. For lack of refrigerant, replenish the refrigerant promptly. For compressor mechanical wear, inspect and repair the compressor, replacing worn parts. For overly tight transmission belts, regularly check the belt's tension and adjust it in time.
