Reasons why domestic cars mostly use dual-clutch transmissions: 1. Collective development: In the field of traditional AT/AMT/CVT automatic transmissions, well-known transmission suppliers such as Aisin, ZF, Jatco, and Getrag have basically formed market monopolies and patent monopolies. Only dual-clutch transmissions can bypass these barriers. Therefore, domestic brands have formed a collective pattern in the field of dual-clutch transmissions. In 2009, a joint venture was established by BorgWarner (China) Investment Co., Ltd. and China Zhongfalian Investment Co., Ltd. (composed of FAW, SAIC, Dongfeng, Changan, Chery, Brilliance, JAC, Changfeng, Geely, GAC, BAIC, Tianhai, and Great Wall), located in Dalian Economic Development Zone. This joint venture will jointly develop key technologies for dual-clutch transmissions, forming a common technical platform. Participating companies can use these technologies to develop and produce their own transmissions. 2. Advantages of dual-clutch transmissions: The inherent advantages of dual-clutch transmissions are stronger than those of traditional transmissions. 3. Fuel economy indicators: Domestic engines have low thermal efficiency. If paired with transmissions that have low transmission efficiency, it will inevitably lead to high fuel consumption. Low-end cars equipped with AT transmissions have higher fuel consumption costs, AMT transmissions are considered outdated, CVT transmissions are not durable, and only dual-clutch transmissions seem to meet the requirements in all aspects and sound gimmicky. The transmission efficiency of dual-clutch transmissions is close to that of manual transmissions, which undoubtedly can reduce fuel consumption.

What Causes the Adaptive Headlight Malfunction in the 2013 Mondeo?

The causes of the adaptive headlight malfunction in the 2013 Mondeo are as follows: 1. Cause one: Failure of the headlight control module. 2. Cause two: Issues with the wiring. Short circuit or open circuit in the wiring. 3. Cause three: Intermittent failure of the electronic sensor. Information about adaptive headlights is as follows: 1. Adaptive headlights: They are an intelligent high-beam system. 2. Principle: They use a front-facing camera to gather information about the road ahead. The camera primarily detects objects in front (including vehicles, pedestrians, etc.), measures distance, and senses light levels. The information from the camera is then processed by the central processor algorithm and sent to the headlights, which adjust or dim the corresponding lights to avoid glare for oncoming traffic while maximizing the driver's visibility needs. 3. Function: They prevent the glare caused by high beams to oncoming drivers, thereby improving nighttime driving safety.

How long does it take to obtain a D-class license?

There is no fixed time frame for obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license, as it depends on the applicant's aptitude and the scheduling of learning and examination times in different regions. Below are specific details about driver's licenses: 1. Classification: The Ministry of Public Security officially issued the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Work Standards," which introduced a grading system for motor vehicle driver's licenses. Licenses are divided into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. 2. Renewal regulations: If a motor vehicle driver does not accumulate 12 or more penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the license, they can renew it for a ten-year validity period. If they again do not accumulate 12 or more penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term valid driver's license.

What does the EHS hybrid system mean?

EHS stands for "Electric-Hybrid-System," and as the name suggests, it reflects a hybrid system that is "electricity-dominant." As a core component of the DM-i Super Hybrid system, the EHS Super Hybrid System acts as the "brain center" for the entire architecture, fully embodying the "i" in DM-i—intelligent. Through intelligent power distribution among the engine, generator, and drive motor, the system operates more efficiently within optimal ranges, significantly reducing overall vehicle energy consumption and ultimately achieving ultra-low fuel consumption. From an architectural perspective, the DM-i Super Hybrid is designed around high-performance, high-power flat-wire motors, primarily relying on high-power, efficient motors for propulsion. The gasoline engine's main function is to generate electricity within its efficient RPM range and provide direct drive during high-speed conditions. This highlights the critical role of the motor in the entire system. Traditional motors use multi-strand wire windings, which waste space, have poor heat dissipation, generate more heat, and struggle to further improve power density. The EHS hybrid system's drive motor adopts the latest flat-wire winding technology, offering superior heat dissipation, higher space utilization, and a power density of up to 44.3 kW/L, with peak efficiency reaching 97.5%. Additionally, advanced oil-cooling technology significantly enhances heat dissipation, enabling a maximum speed of 16,000 RPM, a peak power of 160 kW, and a peak torque of 325 N·m. Flat-wire motors not only deliver higher peak power and torque but also feature a broader constant-power range and more reserve power. Their high-efficiency range covers more operating conditions, far exceeding that of conventional motors, laying a solid foundation for the DM-i Super Hybrid's outstanding energy efficiency. Meanwhile, the EHS hybrid system's dual-motor control integrates BYD's fourth-generation IGBT technology, achieving a comprehensive efficiency of 98.5% and ensuring that the high-efficiency zone (where control efficiency exceeds 90%) accounts for 93% of operations, greatly reducing energy loss.
