Chongqing Feilong Jiangli learns from foreign media that BMW will release a number of pure electric and plug-in hybrid models in the near future. Recently, Stefan Juraschek, vice president of research and development of BMW's electric power transmission system, announced that it would provide the fifth generation electric power transmission system for the new BMW iX3 and i4. The key quality of the system is that the motor, gearbox and power electronics components can form a highly integrated electric drive component. The design of the device is extremely compact and occupies much less space than the three independent parts of the previous model. The total volume of components.

The weight and space problems of electric vehicles are much higher than those of conventional vehicles, because on-board batteries take up a lot of space and increase the body weight. Therefore, in the design of electric power system, it is necessary to ensure that its volume is as compact as possible. In addition, as the speed of popularization and application of electric vehicles is not yet clear, the automobile enterprises must ensure the flexibility of design and provide diesel locomotives for users. BMW's new design concept has actually had a major impact on earlier vehicle manufacturing.

Because the new electric power transmission system is expandable, the equipment can be adjusted to meet different installation space and vehicle requirements. In addition, on-board batteries can match the fifth generation of modular batteries, making the new model suitable for all types of vehicle structures. BMW may be able to equip its electric vehicles with DC/DC chargers, which will greatly shorten the charging time and help BMW's electric vehicles become competitive.

    • OEM vs. Aftermarket Parts for Your Car: How to Choose

      OEM vs. Aftermarket Parts for Your Car: How to Choose

      APF posted a topic in General Auto Parts Discussion,

      When selecting parts for a car repair, it pays to know the differences between original and aftermarket parts. Whenever possible, get estimates for both.

      Choosing between original and aftermarket car parts — and even used parts of either type — is all about squaring your priorities with your budget.

      You’ll have different options depending on the part and the shop. And the best choice will depend on whether you’re trying to keep repairs cheap, restore your car’s appearance after a wreck or soup up your ride.

      Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts match those that came with your car, and are of the same quality as its original parts. They’re also the most expensive.

    • Replacement Intervals For Oil And Air Filters In Today’s Vehicles

      Replacement Intervals For Oil And Air Filters In Today’s Vehicles

      APF posted a topic in Automotive Wipers, Filters, Oil & Lubricants,

      The factory-recommended replacement intervals for filters can vary quite a bit depending on the year, make and model of the vehicle, as well as how it is driven. As a rule, older vehicles (those more than 15 to 20 years old) typically have more frequent service intervals than newer vehicles. Why? Because late-model vehicles require less maintenance, thanks to improvements in motor oils, transmission fluids, engine design and filter media.

      Many long-life air and oil filters use synthetic fiber media or a blend of cellulose and synthetic fibers to extend filter life.

      Changing the oil and filter every 3,000 miles was standard practice decades ago. But it’s no longer necessary because most multi-viscosity oils today are a synthetic blend or a full synthetic that resist viscosity breakdown and oxidation for a much longer period of time. Late-model fuel-injected engines also run much cleaner than their carbureted ancestors, which reduces oil contamination in the crankcase.

    • Oil Filters And Air Filters: Important Maintenance Parts

      Oil Filters And Air Filters: Important Maintenance Parts

      APF posted a topic in Automotive Wipers, Filters, Oil & Lubricants,

      Air filters, cabin air filters, oil filters and (sometimes) fuel and transmission filters are important maintenance parts that typically are replaced according to a time and/or mileage schedule. A vehicle’s service schedule recommendations can be found in the owner’s manual or in a separate brochure. Unfortunately, many motorists never read – or totally ignore – the recommendations.

      Factory service schedules are designed to prolong the life of the engine, transmission and cooling system, to reduce premature wear and breakdowns, but also to minimize maintenance costs while the vehicle is still under warranty. That’s why factory oil change recommendations have been stretched to 7,500 to 10,000 miles or more on many late-model vehicles. Most late-model cars and light trucks no longer have recommended change intervals for transmission fluid and filters, or for fuel filters. These so-called “lifetime” fluids and filters are supposed to last a long time – but they won’t last forever. Experience has shown that “lifetime” filters and fluids don’t live up to the hype.

      Fuel filters always should be replaced when a fuel pump is replaced (unless the filter is part of the fuel pump module assembly). Likewise, transmission filters should be replaced if a customer is changing the fluid in their transmission.

      Last Line of Defense Against Contaminants

      Filters are the first line of defense against contaminants. Air filters keep dirt and abrasive particles out of the engine. A good-quality air filter will trap about 98 percent or more of the particles that can cause trouble inside an engine. As the filter media becomes saturated with dirt, it’s efficiency actually increases. But, as the filter becomes clogged with more and more dirt, it also becomes more restrictive to airflow. The greater the pressure drop across the filter, the more it hurts performance and fuel economy.
