Because its design is relatively mature and maintenance costs are relatively low. Below is some related information about the CRH380B: 1. Introduction: It was developed by the China Railway Corporation for operating newly built high-speed intercity railways and passenger dedicated lines. The Chinese Ministry of Railways named all China Railway High-speed (CRH) vehicles that independently developed key technologies, introduced foreign technology, and were jointly designed and produced as "Harmony." 2. Development Background: The Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway is the world's longest and highest-standard high-speed railway built in a single phase. The development of the new generation of high-speed trains to support it was a massive re-innovation project based on digestion and absorption. To fully support the independent innovation needs of China's high-speed train technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China and the Ministry of Railways jointly signed the "China High-Speed Train Independent Innovation Joint Action Plan" on February 26, 2008.

I usually study the design of various transportation vehicles. The CRH380B is nicknamed 'Rabbit' mainly because of its rounded and cute front-end styling, with high and prominent headlights that resemble a rabbit's eyes and facial outline. This design isn't just for visual appeal but is also based on aerodynamic principles to reduce drag, allowing the train to run faster and more stably. Similarly, in the automotive field, the Volkswagen Beetle's nickname also stems from its unique appearance. The CRH380B can reach speeds of up to 380 kilometers per hour, operating with lightness and agility—qualities well symbolized by the rabbit image. Users and railway fans first coined the nickname around 2011, shortly after the Year of the Rabbit, a time when rabbits culturally represent good fortune. The nickname quickly gained popularity, bridging the gap between high-tech and the general public. Additionally, the high-speed rail cabins are comfortable and quiet, aligning with the gentle nature of rabbits, unlike the noisy environment of conventional trains. This design language is common in transportation products, such as the frog-eye headlights of the Porsche 911, which also draw inspiration from nature. In short, nicknames make complex technology feel more approachable.

What is the best location to install an in-car ETC?

For small cars, the ETC is generally installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 and 90 degrees. If the vehicle has an anti-explosion film or if one is installed later, it may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, and the ETC should be installed in the microwave skylight zone. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for it, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If someone other than the owner is handling the application, they also need to bring their own valid ID card. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle of the windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In such cases, you will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatic toll payment for the front vehicle. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to failed toll deductions. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failures.

What Are the Basic Knowledge Points About Auto Loans?

Auto loans refer to car mortgage loans. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Overview: A car mortgage loan is a loan obtained from financial institutions or auto consumer loan companies by using the borrower's or a third party's car or self-purchased car as collateral. The primary purpose of using a car as collateral is for quick capital turnover. (Due to rapid car depreciation and the high probability of traffic accidents affecting vehicle value, financial institutions relatively rarely issue loans using cars as the sole collateral. Generally, the loan evaluation is 50-80% of the car's value.) 2. Relevant regulations: Article 22 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" clearly stipulates that if a motor vehicle owner uses the vehicle as collateral, they must apply for mortgage registration at the local vehicle management office. The application requires presenting the motor vehicle registration certificate, the identity proofs of the mortgagee and the mortgagor, and filling out the "Motor Vehicle Mortgage/Cancellation Mortgage Registration Application Form."

What causes the thud sound when starting the car after parking for several days?

When starting the car after parking for several days, the thud sound mainly occurs due to the battery being drained from prolonged parking. The explanation is as follows: 1. Cause: This is primarily caused by the battery running out of power after extended parking. Because of the delayed ignition, unburned gasoline is expelled into the exhaust pipe just as the spark plug ignites, resulting in the sound of atomized gasoline being ignited in the exhaust pipe. 2. Recommendation: Generally, if the vehicle is left unused for a long time, it's best to charge the battery every three days and let the engine idle for about 10 minutes. If the car has aftermarket navigation systems or similar large electrical accessories, power consumption may be more severe.

Can small bubbles in car paint be polished?

Small bubbles in car paint can be treated with polishing. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Introduction: Polishing refers to the processing method that uses mechanical, chemical, or electrochemical actions to reduce the surface roughness of a workpiece, thereby obtaining a bright and smooth surface. It involves the use of polishing tools and abrasive particles or other polishing media to refine the surface of the workpiece. 2. Function: Polishing does not improve the dimensional accuracy or geometric shape accuracy of the workpiece but aims to achieve a smooth surface or mirror-like gloss. Sometimes, it is also used to eliminate gloss (matting). Typically, a polishing wheel is used as the polishing tool. The polishing wheel is generally made of multiple layers of canvas, felt, or leather, clamped on both sides with metal circular plates, and the rim is coated with a polishing agent uniformly mixed with fine abrasive particles and grease.

What Materials Are Cars Made Of?

Automobiles are composed of materials such as steel plates, carbon fiber, aluminum, reinforced plastics, etc. Different parts of the car body and different vehicle types use varying materials. Additional information is as follows: 1. Passenger Vehicles: Passenger vehicles are primarily designed and engineered to carry passengers along with their personal belongings and/or temporary items, including the driver's seat, with a maximum capacity not exceeding nine seats. Passenger vehicles are categorized into the following 11 types. Mainly include: standard passenger cars, convertible passenger cars, luxury passenger cars, compact passenger cars, roadsters, hatchback passenger cars, station wagons, multi-purpose passenger vehicles, forward control passenger vehicles, off-road passenger vehicles, and special-purpose passenger vehicles. 2. Commercial Vehicles: Commercial vehicles are designed and engineered for transporting people and goods, and they can tow trailers, excluding passenger vehicles. Mainly include: buses, semi-trailer tractors, and trucks.

What Causes Low Engine RPM?

Idle speed being too low is not inherently caused by the machine itself, nor does it decrease during operation. It is manually adjusted, such as being set low during factory settings or when mechanics lower it during maintenance. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Idle Speed: Excessively low idle speed can lead to an overly lean carburetor mixture, making the engine prone to stalling. In severe cases, it may cause backfiring from the exhaust pipe and difficulty starting (especially in winter). However, if set too high, fuel consumption increases significantly, and the exhaust pipe may also backfire and emit black smoke. 2. Optimal Idle Speed: Prolonged overly rich mixture can lead to spark plug carbon buildup, making ignition difficult. Therefore, idle speed must be set appropriately. Generally, it should be slightly lower in summer and slightly higher in winter.
