BYD Song
The BYD Song (, after the Song dynasty) is a series of compact Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) developed by BYD. Besides the completely different Song Max compact MPV, there are three compact crossovers in the Song lineup, sold concurrently: the original 1st-gen Song renamed ''Song classic'', the slightly larger Song Pro, and the even more upmarket Song Plus. It's competitor worldwide is Luxgen U6. __TOC__ First generation (2015–2019) The first generation BYD Song started out as the BYD S3 before BYD launched the "Dynasty" series vehicles. The Song was later launched as a minor facelift, and later a second facelift updating the BYD Song with the new "Dragon face" design language. BYD S3 The BYD S3 is a compact crossover debuted on the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show in April 2015. It was positioned below the mid-size BYD S6 crossover, and is BYD's first entry to the compact crossover market. Initial plans were similar to the petrol powered BYD F3 compact sedan and BYD S6 mid-s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

BYD Tang
The BYD Tang is a crossover SUV manufactured by BYD Auto, available as an all-electric vehicle, a plug-in hybrid or a conventional ICE vehicle. The vehicle is the second model of BYD's "Dynasty" series passenger vehicles, and gets its name from the Tang Dynasty, the most prosperous of all the great Chinese Dynasties. The first-generation BYD Tang was introduced at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show and was available as a plug-in hybrid only. Retail deliveries began in China in June 2015. The Tang was the top selling plug-in electric passenger car in China in 2016, and the world's top selling plug-in hybrid in 2016. Also, the Tang ranked as the world's third best-selling plug-in car that year. Since inception, 101,518 units were sold in China through December 2018. The second-generation BYD Tang debuted at Auto China in April 2018. In the all-electric variant, known as the BYD Tang 600 and 600D, the battery capacity is . That variant went on sale in Europe (in Norway) in 2021. First ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Front-wheel-drive Vehicles
Front-wheel drive (FWD) is a form of engine and transmission layout used in motor vehicles, where the engine drives the front wheels only. Most modern front-wheel drive vehicles feature a transverse engine, rather than the conventional longitudinal engine arrangement generally found in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles. Location of engine and transmission By far the most common layout for a front-wheel drive car is with the engine and transmission at the front of the car, mounted transversely. Other layouts of front-wheel drive that have been occasionally produced are a front-engine mounted longitudinally, a mid-engine layout and a rear-engine layout. History Prior to 1900 Experiments with front-wheel drive cars date to the early days of the automobile. The world's first self-propelled vehicle, Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot's 1769/1770 "fardier à vapeur", was a front-wheel driven three-wheeled steam-tractor. It then took at least a century, for the firs ...

YouTube
YouTube is a global online video sharing and social media platform headquartered in San Bruno, California. It was launched on February 14, 2005, by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim. It is owned by Google, and is the second most visited website, after Google Search. YouTube has more than 2.5 billion monthly users who collectively watch more than one billion hours of videos each day. , videos were being uploaded at a rate of more than 500 hours of content per minute. In October 2006, YouTube was bought by Google for $1.65 billion. Google's ownership of YouTube expanded the site's business model, expanding from generating revenue from advertisements alone, to offering paid content such as movies and exclusive content produced by YouTube. It also offers YouTube Premium, a paid subscription option for watching content without ads. YouTube also approved creators to participate in Google's AdSense program, which seeks to generate more revenue for both parties. ...

Continuously Variable Transmission
A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is an automatic transmission that can change seamlessly through a continuous range of gear ratios. This contrasts with other transmissions that provide a limited number of gear ratios in fixed steps. The flexibility of a CVT with suitable control may allow the engine to operate at a constant RPM while the vehicle moves at varying speeds. CVTs are used in cars, tractors, side-by-sides, motor scooters, snowmobiles, bicycles, and earthmoving equipment. The most common type of CVT uses two pulleys connected by a belt or chain; however, several other designs have also been used at times. Types Pulley-based The most common type of CVT uses a V-belt which runs between two variable-diameter pulleys. The pulleys consist of two cone-shaped halves that move together and apart. The V-belt runs between these two-halves, so the effective diameter of the pulley is dependent on the distance between the two-halves of the pulley. The V- ...

PHEV
A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a hybrid electric vehicle whose battery pack can be recharged by plugging a charging cable into an external electric power source, in addition to internally by its on-board internal combustion engine-powered generator. Most PHEVs are passenger cars, but there are also PHEV versions of commercial vehicles and vans, utility trucks, buses, trains, motorcycles, mopeds, and even military vehicles. Similar to all-electric vehicles (BEVs), PHEVs displace greenhouse gas emissions from the car tailpipe exhaust to the power station generators powering the electricity grid. These centralized generators may be of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind or hydroelectric) and largely emission-free, or have an overall lower emission intensity than individual internal combustion engines. Compared to conventional hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), PHEVs have a larger battery pack that can be charged from the power grid, which is also more efficient ...

Internal Combustion Engine
An internal combustion engine (ICE or IC engine) is a heat engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high- temperature and high- pressure gases produced by combustion applies direct force to some component of the engine. The force is typically applied to pistons (piston engine), turbine blades ( gas turbine), a rotor (Wankel engine), or a nozzle (jet engine). This force moves the component over a distance, transforming chemical energy into kinetic energy which is used to propel, move or power whatever the engine is attached to. This replaced the external combustion engine for applications where the weight or size of an engine was more important. The first commercially successful internal combustion engine was created by Étienne Lenoir around 1860, and the first modern internal combustion engine, ...

F6DM
The BYD F6 is a midsize sedan produced by the Chinese manufacturer BYD. Overview The styling of the BYD F6 heavily resembles the North American seventh-generation Honda Accord with the front of a first-generation Saab 9-5 and the rear of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W221) and has three engines and two transmission options; a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic, with both engines being Mitsubishi designs. Plug-in Hybrid (F6DM) At the 2008 North American International Auto Show, BYD showcased the F6DM, a plug-in hybrid concept variant of the F6. The F6DM was introduced at the 2008 North American International Auto Show. Based on the BYD F6, the F6DM was to use lithium iron phosphate battery, a type of li-ion battery sold under the "Ferrous" trade name, that can be recharged to 70 percent of capacity in 10 minutes. Iron-Phosphate Lithium-Ion batteries are claimed to be much safer than Cobalt-Oxide Lithium-Ion A lithium-ion or Li-ion battery is a type of rechargeable batte ...
