Why don t taxis use automatic transmissions? Why not use a dual engine?

Because automatic transmission cars are very fuel-intensive, and if you use dual engines, the cost is very high.

Because the automatic transmission model is more expensive, and the fuel consumption is relatively high, the cost of the double engine is even higher.

This is because only in this way can taxis be more fuel-efficient, and the life of taxis will be extended.

Because the manual maintenance cost and maintenance rate are much lower than those of automatic transmission models, and the twin engines, it has a high maintenance cost in the later stage, which is not very cost-effective for taxi drivers.

The main reason why taxis don't use hybrid cars is that the purchase of a car is too high. In addition, the cost of a car is also an issue for taxis to consider, and the cost of using a hybrid car is not necessarily the lowest. Take the hybrid model casually, whether it is a charging plug-in hybrid or a non-charging oil hybrid, the price of the whole vehicle is far more than that of fuel vehicles.

Take common taxis, for example, the most common one is the Volkswagen low-end car: the Jetta Santana. The rent of this model is only 7-8w yuan.

Is it much cheaper than a hybrid? Wouldn't it be faster to go back? It's nonsense that taxi drivers like manual transmissions, and who doesn't love automatic transmissions?

Easy and simple to drive. However, automatic transmission cars have high fuel consumption, high cost of use, transmission life is not as long as manual transmission, and maintenance costs are high. No matter how low the fuel consumption of a hybrid vehicle is, the cost of use will not be lower than that of a natural gas vehicle.

First of all, plug-in hybrids are not suitable for rental. Because the battery capacity of plug-in hybrid vehicles is generally small, the range is only a few tens of kilometers, and there are only a handful of cars with more than 100 kilometers. Because the fuel consumption of this car within 100 kilometers is relatively low, in the end pure electric can only travel 60-80km, and fuel can only travel about 20-40 km.

As a result, fuel consumption for the first 100 km is very low, and fuel consumption for 100 km is calculated in 1-2 liters. Without the battery, the fuel mass consumption of the whole vehicle is either higher than that of the fuel vehicle, or it is comparable to the fuel vehicle, the charging is slow and the power consumption is fast, and it is obviously not practical to take a taxi. The low fuel consumption of hybrid vehicles is only for type or fuel vehicles.

The fuel consumption of Baigong Bu Li is about 2 liters lower than that of fuel vehicles of the same level, but the cost of use is much higher than that of natural gas vehicles. The cost of using natural gas is almost half that of using gasoline, and the cost of a taxi using natural gas is only about RMB per kilometer. The maintenance cost of dual-engine and other models is significantly higher than that of fuel vehicles, battery pack 2W, inverter 2W, engine accessories are also significantly higher than fuel vehicles, a pump is about 3000 yuan, and the fuel vehicle pump is about 800 yuan can be seen, the use of the lowest cost of natural gas vehicles, is the reason why taxis rarely use hybrid dual-engine cars, and online car-hailing is mostly dual-engine cars, after all, the cost of dual-engine vehicles is relatively low.

Because the automatic transmission is more expensive, it also costs more fuel than the manual transmission, and the manual transmission can more condense the driver's attention and is not prone to accidents, so the taxi does not use an automatic transmission.

If the taxi uses an automatic transmission, then the taxi fuel consumption will go up, so the taxi will not use an automatic transmission.

Because most automatic transmissions can't change the gas tank, and running a taxi with gasoline is very wasteful of fuel and can't make money.

Why are taxis all manual and not automatic?

As automatic transmission models become cheaper and cheaper, many consumers like to add some money to buy automatic transmission models, which are simple to operate and not easy to make mistakes, and are the first choice for many family cars. But the taxis that are more common on the road are basically manual transmission models, why is that?

**Cheap. For many consumers, although the automatic transmission is higher than the manual transmission, for the sake of peace of mind, it will be over with more than 10,000 yuan and gritting your teeth, and the problem is not very big. But you must know that taxis are purchased by rental companies in a unified manner, unlike individual consumers who only buy one, but dozens or hundreds of vehicles.

For example, Volkswagen Lavida, the minimum guide price of manual transmission models is 10,000 yuan, and the minimum guide price of automatic transmission models is 10,000 yuan, and the price difference is 10,000 yuan. If you buy 100 units at one time, the difference will reach 1.2 million yuan, of course, the rental company is more willing to buy a manual transmission model, then the taxi can only be a manual transmission model.

Fuel-saving hydrogen cloud chain has said many times that manual transmission is not necessarily more fuel-efficient than automatic transmission, but the taxi master is experienced and familiar with the timing of gear shifting, and he will definitely be able to achieve the purpose of fuel saving, and he must choose a manual transmission model.

There are few problems with manual transmission.

I believe that when many friends watch the news, they will see some car frustration obviously, or the news of transmission problems, which are generally automatic transmission models, and will encounter so many problems in the case of low-load use. And the taxi is a continuous rotation, when the business is good, it is not uncommon to run for several hours in a row, the test of the gearbox is great, relatively speaking, the automatic transmission model is more prone to problems, not only to repair, but also to spend time, that must be the choice of manual transmission model as a taxi better.

Why are taxis all manual and not automatic?

Taxis do not use automatic transmission, first of all, for historical reasons, because at the beginning, the price of automatic transmission cars was relatively high, so that taxi companies gave up automatic transmission cars, and another reason is reliability. Now Toyota's Aisin 6AT gearbox reliability has been achieved for hundreds of thousands of kilometers without major repairs.

Because the manual transmission is cheaper than the automatic transmission, and the manual transmission is more fuel-efficient, it is more cost-effective to consider the overall cost.

Because automatic transmission is too fuel-intensive, manual transmission taxis can save a lot of fuel costs, and many taxis are now gas-burning.

Because the power of the automatic transmission is not as good as the manual transmission, and the probability of automatic transmission failure is higher than that of the manual transmission, what the taxi wants is efficient and convenient, so the taxi rarely has an automatic transmission.

From the perspective of the overall operation form of the domestic taxi industry, it mainly adopts the industry model of coexistence of taxi companies of various sizes and private individual owners. As an investment and an important asset of these rental companies or individual owners, taxis generally have to face the urgent problem of return on investment and profitability.

From the operator's point of view, under the premise that the taxi operation is officially designated, how to earn the cost of repurchasing the car as soon as possible in the 6-8 years of operation of the vehicle, and at the same time maximize the benefits of Xingchang, has undoubtedly become the primary concern of the rental company or individual practitioners, and the solution can obviously only be to reduce the purchase of the car ** and the "part of the money" handed over by the driver.

In order to reduce the cost of car purchase, the general taxi company will purchase a customized version of the taxi type from the manufacturer in batches, these customized models are not only the lowest manual transmission models, manufacturers will generally further reduce the needs of the rental company, such as eliminating the co-pilot airbag, reducing the armrest, replacing the rear power window with a hand crank and other "saving" means, and the gearbox as the "big head" of the vehicle cost, in the end, there is only one option, manual transmission.

The cost of buying a car from a rental company, let's take a look at the taxi driver. For drivers who want to make enough money every day, the biggest cost of operation is the fuel money spent every day. In everyone's traditional printing with sedan, automatic transmission models due to transmission efficiency, fuel consumption is greater than the simple structure of the manual transmission, of course, now the dual clutch and some excellent torque converter gearbox can also be comparable to the transmission efficiency of manual transmission.

However, in the road conditions, the peak hours of urban traffic with one meter and one block, the performance of skilled drivers driving manual transmission models in fuel consumption is indeed better. We save 1 liter of fuel per 100 kilometers of manual transmission than automatic transmission, a taxi runs an average of 400 kilometers a day, according to the current oil price can save more than 30 yuan in fuel costs, save 30 a day, this year is 10,000 yuan smaller, which is a lot of income for taxi drivers.

Although for private cars, the manual transmission model is more than the automatic transmission car to save the two liters of fuel is insignificant, but for the taxi driver who often runs more than 100,000 or 200,000 kilometers a year, every penny saved in fuel consumption is a real net profit. Therefore, in order to make profits, many taxi drivers have also adopted a default attitude towards these "customized" manual transmission models, and even if they are refining King Kong's left leg, they do not have too many complaints.

Summary:

In the current taxi industry in China, on the one hand, the relevant departments have charged high management fees but have not fulfilled the corresponding duties and obligations, and all the operating pressure is thrown to the rental company, and the rental company has to bear the operating pressure and manage a huge taxi team on the one hand, and to the real operation of the taxi driver, but it has become a completely vulnerable group, the result of this non-healthy industry ecology is that all parties are complaining and dissatisfied. Therefore, when we encounter taxis or taxis on the road, we must also have more volume and understanding, after all, they are all grand and small roles in the rules of the game, and please cherish it.

Because the manual transmission of the car to talk about the cluster fuel saving, the taxi Zheng roll is mainly to make money, with the automatic transmission will be very fuel-efficient, will increase the cost, in addition to the taxi masters are old drivers, they can better control the vehicle, do not need automatic transmission.

Because the self-destructing spring dynamic gear is more fuel-intensive, taxi drivers will drive manual transmissions in order to amuse Yu Ye to save a sum of money, and they are also very fast in overtaking. Mountain shouts.

First, in order to save fuel, automatic transmission cars are more fuel-intensive, so that the driver's income is lower. Second-hand transmission cars are mostly cheaper than the base shirt, which can reduce costs and save more money. Thirdly, if something goes wrong, the cost of maintenance will be lower than that of an automatic car.

It can reduce economic pressure.

1.This increases the input costs of taxi companies. On average, each car with manual transmission is tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than that of an automatic car.

2.And the driver will drive for more than ten hours a day. Through the manual transmission, the driver can be more sober.

3.Manual transmission vehicles are more fuel-efficient. Because they often run on urban sections.

There are more red lights. The gear grip is more fuel-efficient than the automatic transmission when it starts with a noisy start.

1.The manual transmission has high transmission efficiency.

Generally speaking, among CVT, AT and MT, the transmission efficiency of manual transmission MT is the highest, almost more than 85%, while the general AT gearbox is generally between 70% and 85% according to the technology of different manufacturers, and the efficiency of CVT is even lower, generally around 70%.

The efficiency of the transmission determines how much of the engine's power will be output to the wheels, relatively speaking, the higher the efficiency of the transmission, the higher the conversion of the unit of gasoline into kinetic energy, and the smaller the energy loss. Therefore, in the same driving situation, the vehicle with high transmission efficiency can be more fuel-efficient, save a little per 100 kilometers, and it is a large amount in the long run.

2.The failure rate of manual transmission is low.

Generally speaking, the transmission failure we have heard of is the automatic transmission transmission, either dual clutch, or AT, or the automatic transmission has various defects that cause the vehicle to not drive normally, few have heard of the manual transmission transmission failure, the fact is also true, the manual transmission of the transmission due to the simple structure, and are all mechanized structure, the degree of electrification is not high, at most there is only a gear sensor and other small electrical appliances in it, Therefore, the failure rate of such a manual transmission is relatively low.

If the vehicle needs to be repaired because of the failure of the gearbox, it will waste a lot of time, and the time of the taxi is money, so the taxi uses a manual transmission Another advantage is that it is not easy to break down, so it can ensure that it has been the best and continues to make money.

3.The manual transmission has high durability.

As mentioned earlier, the kilometers of taxis are relatively high, running hundreds of kilometers a day, you can run tens of thousands or even 100,000 kilometers a year, and you can easily run to hundreds of thousands of kilometers in a few years, the general automatic transmission will be prone to failure or reach the use of kilometers after a certain number of kilometers, and the general CVT gearbox may reach the service life after driving 300,000 kilometers, and the lower the transmission efficiency is used, the higher the corresponding fuel consumption.

If you use a manual transmission, you can avoid this trouble, at most the gear lever will be looser than when you are in a new car, but the structure and transmission of the internal gears will rarely fail, which may be one of the reasons.

4.Automatic transmission of the car ** expensive.

Another reason is that from the cost point of view, the pricing strategy of domestic cars is to manual transmission models are cheaper than automatic transmission, generally in about 100,000 cars, automatic transmission will be more expensive than manual transmission about 10,000 yuan, and as a taxi, in line with the principle of cost reduction, will also choose a lower price manual transmission as its alternative model.
