The useless knowledge of cars has increased again?

As the saying goes, when the book is used, you hate it less. If you have nothing to do, read more books and newspapers and take fewer detours. Even "useless knowledge" is actually valuable.

1, Chengdu, fertile soil of Phaeton.

Phaeton, once the flagship car of Volkswagen, just looks too popular, which directly fills the owner's low-key temperament. In Chengdu, Sichuan, Phaeton ranks first in the country, which is why Phaeton's second customization center in China settled in Chengdu (2009). Chengdu's strength alone divided Phaeton's output by 5-8%!

2. Saudi women can drive.

For a long time, Saudi Arabia has always opposed female driving on the grounds that female driving may cause social problems such as sexual harassment. Yes, women are not allowed to drive there, and they are not qualified!

Until June 24, 20 18, Saudi Arabia officially lifted the ban on female driving. So which country in the world prohibits women from driving? No, Saudi Arabia is the last country in the world to lift the ban.

It is reported that the female unemployment rate in Saudi Arabia is as high as 33%, one of the main reasons is the lack of travel tools. After the lifting of the ban, it not only promoted the automobile market, but also brought many employment opportunities to Saudi women, such as the recruitment of female police officers by the Ministry of Interior of Schet, female on-site duty officers by the transportation department, female drivers by online car companies and female sales by sales companies.

3. Russian expressway.

Compared with China, which ranks first in the world at present, with a total mileage of 6.5438+0.6 million kilometers, there are few Russian expressway, mainly due to high construction cost, frozen soil, high maintenance cost and low demand.

Less doesn't mean people really don't care. Last year, China Railway Construction International Group successfully signed the fifth bid section of the Moscow-Kazan expressway project, with a contract value of 58.26 billion rubles (about 5.2 billion yuan).

It is expected to be completed in 2024. This is the first time that a China enterprise has signed a contract for a Russian national key expressway project.

4. The cost of buying a car in Singapore.

Singapore has a small land area, but there are many people. It is the limit to spend 12% of the land area to build roads. They believe that more will affect other developments.

Therefore, cars are "restricted" over there. The cost of buying a car is very scary, mainly including COE license plate +OMV open market value +ARF additional registration fee+consumption tax+profit.

Car license plates alone are not cheap. A-level COE costs hundreds of thousands of RMB, and it is not permanent. The term is 10 year. There is no local automobile industry in Singapore. If it is to be imported, ARF will be levied 100%.

5. Japan's "gentleman's agreement".

During the period of 1980- 1988, the death rate of traffic accidents in Japan increased sharply, and the top management believed that the excessive engine power was the fundamental reason. So in the 1980s and 1990s, Japan's Ministry of Transport made a speech, which probably meant that everyone should pay attention to (motivation) and don't blame me for not admitting it.

At that time, the daily production of Fairlady 300ZX reached 300, and it was reduced to 276 after being invited to tea. Then, everyone made a "full" one. So the unwritten "gentleman's agreement" with a ceiling of 280 horses was born.

So at that time, the maximum horsepower of many performance cars was 280 horsepower, such as GT-R, EV0, RX-7, Supra and NSX. With the decline of traffic accidents, people don't want to let the engine back. In 2004, the call for abolishing the "gentleman's agreement" became louder and louder, and then the Japanese government officially abolished the 280-horse agreement.

6. The most unprofessional company.

Honda has a flourishing career tree, but Yamaha can be chosen as the least professional. This is an enterprise that started with a broken organ, musical instrument, motorcycle, motorboat, engine, furniture, software and robot. ...

Yamaha is capable of making engines, 4A-GE, 2UR-GSE, 1LR-GUE. ...

But I just don't build cars. It's not unheard of, such as OX99- 1 1, but it failed in the Great Depression. Will it be challenged again? Considering that there is a Toyota among the shareholders.

7. German expressway also charges.

Expressway is free in many overseas countries, such as German, and some people don't limit the speed! Of course, people pay for minibuses for free. Charge?

Germany also thought about it. After all, expansion and maintenance are all money. However, on 20 16, Germany also thought about collecting road use fees for passenger cars. At first, I thought about levying non-German cars, but my neighbors disagreed and held a banner of "discrimination" to protest.

Later, Austria was the only country protesting: German car owners paid tolls and the motor vehicle tax was reduced, which could offset the two expenses. In fact, you are collecting tolls from non-German car owners!

China also has "free" expressway. In Hainan Province, only the people combine road maintenance fees, road transportation management fees, tolls and bridge crossing fees and collect them in the form of motor vehicle fuel surcharges.

8. Life/death stipulated by laws and regulations.

Jumping lights, with a little blood in the classics. At first, the United States forced all models to use this 7-inch round cake lamp, one on each side.

This thing made the design a headache, and many designs and streamlines were destroyed, so the hidden headlights (jumping lights) were born.

Later, because the design of jumping lamp will cause secondary injury when it collides with pedestrians, it will be killed by laws and regulations. Of course, there are other reasons, such as stability, failure rate, cost, maintenance, drag coefficient and so on.

9. It will be a miracle to express dissatisfaction.

Ferruccio Lamborghini was dissatisfied with the design of Ferrari sports car and founded a Lamborghini brand.

However, Aoracio pagani's design was not recognized by Lamborghini's top management, and he founded the pagani brand instead.

Such stories tell us that we should dare to express our dissatisfaction with actions. What if?

10, Baowo will be buried again.

Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Baowo, Audi and BBBA, we are four German brothers! Baowo, who has been sleeping for half a century, is so flamboyant after waking up. From the root, it is indeed a German brand.

However, as more and more people find that this is just a "puppet of Fukuda", it becomes more and more difficult to tell a good story, and it also becomes silent in the China market. There is news from Baowo recently, but it is not good news.

It is reported that China UCAR Group will enter bankruptcy proceedings, and the official may announce this news in early July. Is Baowo, who sells dog meat by hanging sheep's head, really going to be buried again?
