Wuling's choice of rear-wheel drive is primarily determined by factors such as vehicle purpose and chassis structure. Purpose: Most Wuling vehicles are used for transporting passengers and cargo. If there is a significant load at the rear of the vehicle, the front wheels may experience insufficient traction, and under heavy loads, the front wheels are prone to slipping. Choosing rear-wheel drive allows for greater horsepower capacity and offers a more engaging driving experience. Chassis Structure: In rear-wheel drive vehicles, the rear wheels are responsible for propulsion while the front wheels handle steering, which is a more rational drivetrain layout. In front-wheel drive vehicles, the front wheels must both propel the vehicle and steer, accelerating tire wear. Front-wheel drive vehicles are also more susceptible to understeer during high-speed cornering.

What do D and F mean in new energy vehicle plates?

License plates starting with D represent pure electric small new energy vehicles, while those starting with F represent non-pure electric small new energy vehicles (including plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles). Plates ending with D represent pure electric large new energy vehicles, while those ending with F represent non-pure electric large new energy vehicles (including plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles). Here are specific details about new energy vehicle plates: 1. Color: Small new energy vehicles use gradient green plates, while large new energy trucks use yellow-green dual-color plates. Both symbolize green, environmental protection, and technology. 2. Additional digit: The number of digits on green plates has increased from 5 to 6, using only two letters: D and F. D represents pure electric, while F represents hybrid. 3. Eliminating fake and cloned plates: The new plates incorporate advanced technology. The manufacturing source, production time, and recipient of each plate can be traced, with nationwide unified management and distribution. 4. "Privileges": Taking Chengdu as an example: Vehicles with green plates are exempt from traffic restrictions based on license plate endings; they enjoy two hours of free parking in many lots; and delivery vehicles with green plates can operate at any time.

At How Many Kilometers Should a Vehicle Be Scrapped?

Non-commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles have different scrapping periods, as detailed below: Scrapping regulations for non-commercial vehicles: For 5-seat family cars and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and mini vehicles have no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Common scrapping regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The vehicle owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, Scrapping Approval Application Form" in duplicate and affix the owner's seal. The registration desk accepts the application and issues a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, after inspection by the motor vehicle inspection desk and confirmation that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" is issued. The owner chooses a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company dismantles the vehicle and takes photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner submits the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the motor vehicle inspection desk for verification and signature. The license plates are reclaimed, and the scrapping registration is processed according to regulations after approval. Special notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial vehicles must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

What is the minimum tire pressure that should not be lower than?

Tire pressure below 1.7bar is not safe for driving. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. There is no exact numerical regulation specifying how low the tire pressure can go before it becomes unsafe, but it is best not to go below the manufacturer's recommended value, which is generally 2.2-2.5bar. Additional Information: Note 1: The manufacturer's recommended tire pressure can usually be found in the vehicle's user manual or near the door (B-pillar or C-pillar). Low tire pressure can cause significant damage. Firstly, the tire's own motion friction coefficient increases, the contact patch becomes flatter, and there is a movement process between the normal condition of the non-contact patch, causing the tire to not run in a perfect circle, leading to an increase in tire temperature. Secondly, low tire pressure increases the deformation of the tire body, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracking and causing flexing motion, which leads to excessive heat generation, rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders, which can result in a blowout. Note 2: Tire pressure is an important factor affecting tire lifespan and fuel economy. Choosing an unreasonable tire pressure can cause power cycling, increasing tire wear and reducing lifespan. Considering the impact on vehicle performance, it is essential to select the appropriate tire pressure to extend tire life and improve fuel economy.
