Basic knowledge of automobile

       With the rapid development of the economy, almost every family has a car. But not everyone who can drive has a deep understanding of cars. The following for you prepared a car basic knowledge, leading you to become a car master, walking the car knowledge encyclopedia.       

           The overall structure of the car, the car by the engine, chassis, body and electrical equipment of these four major components.

Although the car looks very complex, there are more than 20,000 parts and components, but from the basic structure, can be divided into the above four major components. Complete vehicle equipment quality (KG) : The quality of a fully equipped vehicle is the quality of the manufacturer when it leaves the factory, including the quality of various lubricants, Oil, on-board tools, spare tires, etc. . It’s usually what we call dead weight, weight of the car. Maximum total mass (KG) : the total mass of a car when it is fully loaded. The total mass of a full person or cargo. 3. Maximum loading mass (KG) : the maximum loading mass of a vehicle while it is in motion. 4. Car Length (MM) : distance between two extremes in the direction of the car’s length. That’s the distance from the front of the car to the back of the car.

Vehicle Width (MM) : the distance between two extremes in the direction of the vehicle’s width. The width of the rear-view Mirror when it is opened is not the standard width of a car. 6. Car Height (MM) : the distance between the top of the car and the ground. The definition of length, width and height should be very easy to understand, not to do more explanation. 7. Wheelbase (MM) : distance from the center of the car’s Front axle to the center of the rear axle. Wheelbase is one of the most important parameters of automobile. It is the main index to measure the space in the car. The longer wheelbase is, the wider the space is. Minimum ground clearance (MM) : the distance from the lowest point of the vehicle to the ground when the vehicle is fully loaded. The minimum ground clearance is an index to judge the height of vehicle chassis. The larger the ground clearance is, the higher the vehicle chassis is, and the better the trafficability is. 9. Angle of approach (degrees °) : The angle between the front-end Bulge and the front-wheel lead. 10. Angle of departure (degree °) : The angle between the Tangent of the rear wheel drive and the ground at the rear end of the car.

11. Turning radius (MM) : The radius of the locus of the center plane of the outermost wheel on the vehicle support plane when the vehicle is turning. When the steering wheel turns to the Limit Position (kills the steering wheel) the turning radius is the minimum turning radius. Maximum speed (KM/h) : the maximum speed a car can reach on a straight road. In general, we can see the speedometer directly on the dashboard of the car. The maximum speed is determined by the maximum power of the car. MAXIMUM CLIMB (%) : the maximum capacity of a vehicle to climb when fully loaded. 14. Average fuel consumption (l/100 km) : average fuel consumption per 100 km of road. It is often said that 100 kilometers of fuel consumption, to measure the indicators of car fuel consumption, is to save fuel or fuel consumption. 15. Number of wheels and Driving Wheels (n * m) : The number of wheels is based on the hub, N is the total number of wheels, m is the number of driving wheels. For example, a four wheel drive car can be expressed as: 4 * 4. It’s usually marked on the back of the car. 16. Zero kilometer car: This means that the car has a very small range, essentially zero kilometers, from the production line down to the customer. But the reality is almost impossible, all the current auto industry is relatively agreed that the standard is not more than 50 km driving record, are considered new cars. So, generally we go to 4s shop to see the car, see those new cars have a short distance of driving mileage, only do not exceed this range, are not too tangled.
