Engine nameplate

Generally, the manufacturer or country of manufacture of the engine will be directly indicated

Frame number

The difference between the engine and the model The place of origin is synchronized, so we can infer from the 17-digit frame number code in the lower left corner of the front windshield

The first letter "L" refers to a domestic car,

"J" stands for Japan, "S" stands for Britain, "K" stands for South Korea, "V" stands for France, "W" stands for Germany, and "Z" stands for Italy. In one sentence, see Nameplate.

In accordance with relevant regulations, corporate or industry practices, engine manufacturers display the main technical specifications and parameters of the engine in the form of engine nameplates, which usually include the name and trademark of the manufacturing company, product name, model, code, and rated power. , rated torque, displacement, license, factory date and number, engine quality and other information.

It can usually be seen that the manufacturer is made in China

Xichai's

Weichai's

Qingling Isuzu's

Foreign

Isuzu's

Volvo's

All in English but made in China

Luoyang, Henan Yituo

They are all in Chinese but actually imported

Made by Japan's Mitsubishi

So, look at the nameplate, there is exact manufacturer information.

The engine nameplate is difficult to find. If anyone has the nameplate of an imported engine, please leave a message. Joint venture brands have always been the first choice for many car owners when buying cars. The engine is the most important part of the car, so naturally many car owners will be concerned about whether the engine in their car is imported. With the continuous improvement of my country's production technology, the engines of some mid- to low-end joint venture cars were initially produced domestically, and then high-end joint venture cars such as BBA were also domestically produced. Therefore, original imported engines are increasingly used in current joint venture cars. The less!

The engine is the most complex component of the car. The cost of the engine accounts for the largest proportion of the entire vehicle, mostly around 30. Although automobile engine technology is becoming more and more advanced, my country's independent engine technology has also achieved a certain degree of breakthrough. However, there is still a certain distance from the advanced technology mastered by developed countries in the foreign automotive industry. In particular, the engine technology of Germany and Japan has always been in a leading position in the world.

Domestic cars can be very high-end in terms of vehicle appearance and interior parts, but high-end models will still choose imported engines. Many joint venture brands directly used original imported engines at first and used their good car performance to win the market. Later, due to cost issues, they slowly changed their strategies to control costs and improve competitiveness!

There are currently three main situations for domestic joint venture brand engines. One is to insist on importing original engines and then assembling the entire vehicle domestically. Due to the relatively high cost, the proportion is getting smaller and smaller; the other is to use the engine in addition to the cylinder. The body materials and other spare parts are purchased domestically and then assembled domestically, with the lowest cost, mainly for some relatively cheap joint venture models; the other is to directly purchase imported spare parts from abroad and then assemble them domestically, which is a mid-to-high-end joint venture It will be widely used in cars, and it is also the most important form of existence of joint venture brand engines now.

There are two main methods to determine whether a car's engine is imported from the original factory, but one of the most commonly used methods is not very accurate! Less accurate judgment method

Many people use the frame number on the car nameplate to judge whether the engine is imported. However, the first letter on the car nameplate represents the place where the vehicle was produced, but it does not really determine whether the engine is imported. Represents the engine production location.

As mentioned before, the engine will appear on the vehicle in three forms, so the information given on the car nameplate is not enough to prove the identity of the engine. Therefore, the car nameplate information can identify whether the car is an imported model. If the imported car is produced abroad, the engine must be imported with original packaging; the joint venture car is produced in China, but the engine is not necessarily domestically produced. It is a direct and convenient method of judgment

The vehicle nameplate is an introduction to the vehicle information. The engine also has a special engine nameplate. Through the engine nameplate, you can know the actual origin of the engine. The location of the engine nameplate is usually on the cover of the car's valve chamber, or on some engine bodies. Because it is not easy to see at ordinary times, many car owners do not know it.

The engine nameplate is the detailed identity information of the engine of this car. On the engine nameplate, we can see the main technical parameters and specifications of the engine. Information such as manufacturer, engine model, engine displacement, rated power, rated torque, engine quality, production date, and engine origin. So this is the most direct identification of the engine in your car. Whether it is imported or domestic, you can identify it at a glance!

You can also see the engine's unique identification number on the engine nameplate, which is the engine number. The engine number will also be stamped on the engine block. When we apply for the plate, in addition to the frame number, we also need to stamp the engine. Number.

The engine number is very important for a car and is unique. It can be found on important information such as driving license, motor vehicle registration certificate, certificate of conformity, insurance card, etc. This shows the importance of the engine number. The engine number can reflect important information parameters of the engine. Foreign brands retain technology

As mentioned before, the engine is the most important component of a car and the real core of a car. The joint venture brand itself has existed in China for a long time, but foreign countries will not export engine technology to domestic manufacturers. The reason why we chose to localize engines is also because we need to meet market changes to gain stronger competitiveness. Some technologies are reduced because they are no longer needed in the domestic driving environment, and some are simply reserved technologies. The precision gap of domestic spare parts

my country's production level has been greatly improved, but the processing level of some precision parts is still different from that of industrialized countries. Some low-end joint venture cars purchase spare parts directly in China and then assemble the engine. When the materials are the same, the production process level of the parts determines the quality of the engine. Therefore, even car companies that purchase spare parts for assembly domestically need to import some precision parts from abroad. Gap in quality control of domestic production line assembly

The mainstream market still imports spare parts from abroad and then assembles them domestically, and the assembly lines are also designed by manufacturers in accordance with foreign standards. However, there will still be differences after the engine is assembled, because the management requirements for the production line are different. I have to admit that foreign factories have done an excellent job in quality control. Now China is actually paying more and more attention to quality control. Putting aside the factor of technical castration, the gap between engines assembled with imported spare parts and original imported engines will not be too big.

Finally, to summarize, generally speaking, imported engines will perform better than domestically assembled engines. But now many joint venture car engines are mostly assembled domestically with imported spare parts. If you are more concerned about the engine, you can ask about it when buying a car. If you have doubts about the origin of the engine when buying a second-hand car, you can check it yourself to avoid being deceived!

I love cars, and I hope everyone has what they love.

Thanks for the invitation. How to judge whether the engine is an imported engine?

The three most important parts of a car are the engine, gearbox and chassis. As the heart of a car, the engine is particularly important. But some people don’t know where they heard from hearsay that domestic engines are bad and imported engines are good, but they don’t know how to judge whether their car’s engine is an imported engine. I can tell you the method next, but I don’t know the answer.

I believe that people who want to know the answer have checked all the information online, but they are confused. Many answers online come from looking at the vehicle nameplate and frame number, and whether the vehicle nameplate manufacturing country is China. , if it is China, it represents a domestic engine, if it is not China, it represents an imported engine. The same is true for the frame number. If the engine starts with L, it represents a domestic engine, and if it starts with other letters, it represents an imported engine. This can be used as a reference, but it is not completely correct.

Although many car companies are said to be made in China, some vehicles still use imported engines. How do we distinguish this?

First of all, when you want to know whether a certain model of a certain car brand uses an imported engine, you must know which factory in the country produces a certain car brand, whether it has a history of importing, and look for the engine. Whether it says "Made in Japan" or not, it may not necessarily be Japanese.

Secondly, when you understand the import history, you must know the domestic engine code and foreign engine code of this car, as well as the engine number. For example, B48 and HR16DE are the engine codes of BMW and Nissan, and the engine number is on the engine body. Because the engine numbers of domestic engines and imported engines are different, just like the Nissan Sylphy 1.8L is made in China, but the whole machine is imported, the engine number starting with the Toyota Corolla 1.2TU is imported as a whole machine.

Therefore, it is very difficult to accurately know whether a joint venture car is equipped with an imported engine, because so far, 90% of the joint venture cars are domestically produced, the engines are also domestically produced, and the number of imported engines is also increasing. The less. In fact, there is really not much difference between domestic engines and imported engines. They are similar in use. Maybe I just think that imported engines are more comfortable to use, but in fact there is no difference.

Another simplest way is to find an after-sales employee in a 4S store with a particularly good relationship. He will tell you the answer, so you don’t have to bother looking up information to find out whether it is. Imported engine.

Imported engines generally have labels on the side of the body, such as CHR, Yize, Atez, etc., and there are labels on the side of the engine "made in japan"

There are many types of engines in current vehicles. , but for engines, there are joint ventures, domestically produced and imported engines. Of course, for vehicles, different engines bring different power and working conditions. So how to judge whether the engine is an imported engine? It can be judged from the following aspects.

The first aspect is the engine nameplate, which is an engine ID number. Usually the nameplate information includes: manufacturing company name and trademark, product name, model, code, Information such as rated power, rated torque, displacement, license, factory date and number, engine quality, etc., and secondly, judging from the structure of the engine, but this requires certain experience and methods.

The second aspect is to judge from the origin of the engine. This can basically be judged from the first three letters of the engine number. The third point is from the engine’s To judge based on displacement, first of all, engines are generally assembled in domestic production lines, and the localization of parts will not be very high immediately.

Every engine will have a model, and it depends on whether the car is domestically produced, imported, or a joint venture. Domestic products are their own brands, while joint ventures use foreign technology to produce them in China, and imported ones It is purely imported. Take the FAW Toyota Corolla as an example. The car is equipped with a 1.2T engine, but its engine number starts with "U" and "K". The engine number that starts with U is an imported engine, and the domestic engine is "K" beginning.

Look at the engine nameplate and it’s clear at a glance

Is this engine imported?

This is a very professional topic. Under normal circumstances, the steel stamp number of the sign and each accessory nut and oil pipe that can be seen with our naked eyes have a special brand and model mark, so it is very important to ordinary people. For example, in addition to repair shops, you also need to have knowledge and contact with automobiles in order to make a correct identification.

According to the certificate of conformity, domestically produced car engines are not necessarily also domestically produced
